Hello,

since Windows 11 22H2 (22621), the spacing of desktop icons has changed. How to integrate the default spacing from previous Windows 11 versions into NTLite for all users?

Thanks and best Regards,

Hi,

I found the following default IconSpacing settings on our Win11 22H1 machines and applied them to the 22H2 ISO.
The settings work fine.

Code: 
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics]
"IconSpacing"="-1710"
"IconVerticalSpacing"="-1125"
 
Hi,

with latest windows 11 23H2 and 24H2 this IconSpacing settings not applied at new user created :(
was try with ntlite and load hive but still this regs settings not work, its still show default settings.
 
Are you applying the reg change from Post-Setup (After logon)? You may need to restart Explorer.
Code: 
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe & start explorer

HKU/.Default is the default profile for SYSTEM, which not the same as "Default User".

Create a script for (Before logon).
Code: 
reg load HKLM\TEMP C:\Users\Default\NTUSER.DAT
reg add "HKLM\TEMP\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics" /v IconSpacing /t REG_SZ /d "-1710" /f
reg add "HKLM\TEMP\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics" /v IconVerticalSpacing /t REG_SZ /d "-1125" /f
reg unload HKLM\TEMP
