How can I get a “Align to grid” View option in Windows 7 windows?

by eswierc . Updated 14 years, 6 months ago

XP has the View option to align icon shortcuts to a grid on both the desktop and within individual windows. Windows 7 only has this option for icons appearing on the desktop. Is there any way to add this “Align to Grid” View option to individual windows in Windows 7?
I prefer to group shortcut icons on my desktop into separate windows according to category. For example, I will group all the shortcuts relating to publishing into a single window, then use a single shortcut on the desktop labled “publishing programs” to see all these shortcuts. However, Windows 7 does not allow me to group those shortcuts within that secondary window to a grid as does XP. Alighning to grid allows custom placement and grouping of the shortcut icons in a window rather than being restricted to alphabetical order, content, etc.
