Is it possible to kill Explorer's file shortening?

Featured Replies

Ever notice how when you use icon, tile, etc view in explorer, it chops off filenames and shows "..." so you have to select/highlight the goddamn thing to see the whole filename? Is it at all possible to disable that?

..how i hate developers who create long name shortcuts for their applications...

I mean, for example, who want's to have "Lavasoft AdAware SE Professional" lying on his desktop?! Can't they just name it "AdAware SE", at least just the desktop icon?!?!

Thank god Microsoft invented the rename of files and folders feature...

Why must I always find the annoyances that noone knows how to fix? :(

This is a workaround:

increase the icon spacing globally in Windows, then it'll show up more. If there's not enough room then it shortens itself to avoid overlapping each other.

How do you increase the icon spacing globally?
