Hot Key in Windows XP to make icons arrange horizontal

 

Hi Travis, 

 

I've read about your problem and it is by default that windows desktop icons are arranged by columns. The only way you can arrange them horizontally is by unchecking "Auto arrange Icons" and instead enable "Align to grid" then manually dragging icons the way you want it (horizontally). In addition, downloading some third party programs would help you arranging the icons horizontally like :

1. Icon Restore  : http://download.cnet.com/Icon-Restore/3000-2072_4-10163499.html

2. Fences :  https://www.stardock.com/products/fences/

3. Iconoid : http://www.sillysot.com/

 

Hope this helps.
