This isn't required, but if you want to revert to the original settings manually, click on the option that says "Restore WindowsMetric and Restart PC". So, when you reboot your computer, the original settings are restored automatically.

The first option, make default, saves the Desktop Icon Spacing permanently, this isn't enabled by default. The Advanced menu has a couple of interesting options. All you can do is change the icon size, whether to auto arrange them and toggle the icon visibility. Windows barely lets you change the icon settings. Now, what about customizing the icons? I'm not talking about changing the icon itself, rather the options for displaying them. Most computers I've come across have icons covering the entire left half of the screen, and I ask them how do you even know what's where?

My friends always tell me my desktop is the neatest that they've ever seen. I got into the habit after using Fences for a couple of years, and ditching it. To further organize the icons, I arrange them based into categories, mostly just programs and games. Most of my desktop icons serve as reminders for what I've installed and needs my attention, especially games, which I tend to install and forget about. I belong to that group, and keep as few icons on my home screen as possible, while using the taskbar for all other important shortcuts. Having a neat desktop is very important for some users.
