Possible to change column widths for Icon View in Explorer?

[chinagreenelvis]

In Windows Explorer, you can use Tile View in two different ways; one with the icons left-aligned (similar to List View) and "classic" icons. The switch from one to the other is determined by the size of the icon (unfortunately).

Although I've been trying to figure out a way to get left-aligned large icons, I've also noticed that the width of the columns is set in stone. It's wider than the columns in Tile Mode and lacks the word-wrapping, but Tile Mode has scrolling lag issues when dealing with lots of files (I don't know why).

I've obviously used the editor in the past, but I'm in no way familiar enough with all of the values to know if it's possible, but is there an editable parameter that determines the width of those columns? And perhaps also potentially the size of the icons?

It would be great to be able to get Icon View to display similarly to Tile View and not suffer the inexplicable performance drawbacks.

Adjusting the column width in the item view layout has nothing to do with msstyles at all, but most likely with the DirectUI markup files probably in explorerframe.dll.mun > UIFILE 4096. You need quite a bit of searching and learning to achieve what you want as DirectUI is not officially documented.
