4.3.2  Auto arrange                                           TeraDesk

When this option  is selected,  TeraDesk will  attempt to optimize the
use of the screen area  when displaying  Directory windows. This means
that:

- In text mode (see Show as icons) the directories may be displayed in
  one or more columns,  depending on  screen width  and the length  of
  directory lines,  which, in turn,  depends on  selection  of visible
  fields  (see Show options).  This option is  especially useful  when
  it  is needed  to display  as many items  in  a directory  window as
  possible.  Choice of a smaller font for directory windows  increases
  the number of columns that can be displayed on the screen.

- In icon mode the directories are displayed with  icons rearranged to
  fit the current  widths  of  the windows.  Horizontal  scrolling  of
  the windows is neither possible nor needed.

When this options is deselected:

- In text mode directories are displayed in one column only.

- In icon mode the  directories are displayed  with icons  arranged to
  fit the whole width of the screen. The horizontal slider can be used
  to scroll  the window to left or right in order to make  some of the
  items visible.

Note: it can be expected that window manipulation (scrolling, changing
size, etc.)  will be somewhat  slower  when  in text display mode  and
this option is selected. On the  contrary, when the display is in icon
mode,  window manipulation  may be  slower  when this  option is -not-
selected.
