How to nail down the Win 7 icons in Explorer

Hello Experts :-)

In Windows 7 Explorer I find the icons hard to nail down. I did several
searches and came up empty.

How to nail them down, especially in the middle, which is List?

TIA

PS, if anyone needs nails, please let me know ;-)

"icons hard to nail down" with regards to what criteria? You left out a
lot of detail as to just what you actually want to accomplish.

I have no idea what you're talking about. What does "nail down" mean?
"Middle" of what?

Icons: Huge, Large, medium, Small, List, Details, etc......
Middle of the icons - List is pretty close

Nail some one of them down to keep Explorer from getting away, whenever
it likes, from List. I like to keep that List FIXED = nailed down :-)

Now you can look for a translator :-)

Does anyone else think that it's humorous when the explanation is no
more clear than the initial post? :-)

Find a picture that has the elements you're interested in, on display.

Somewhere, there's got to be an example of what you're talking about.

If you can find an image like that, download it to your desktop,
use an image editor like GIMP or similar to circle the thing you're
talking about, then upload the image to an image hosting site
like imageshack.us or equivalent, then we can all share in the fun.
You post a link to the uploaded image with the circled thing, so we can
find it.

Since we still cannot figure out what you mean,
you could try posting in your native language
and we can run that through google translate.
Please state what language, too.

Are you joking?

Why should I bother? If you won't make an effort to be understood, I'm
certainly not going to bother. The onus is on you.

In this case... no.
