Customise Icons on Desktop in XP

[Kevryl]

There doesn't seem to be a group for XP so I'm posting it here in the
"nearest" category.

Is there a way to force XP to display the whole filename on a desktop icon?

There are many XP groups. Here are a few:

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support

Try the general group.

Thank you Alan and Milly. None are listed on the Discussion groups Home page
though.

You will get a far better experience of newsgroups if you use a proper
newsreader instead of that slow and quirky web interface you are
using.

I suspect that's because you're looking at the Office home page. Here's
a link to the Windows XP groups:
