Files Overlap in Folder?

Hey guys, this problem (as the thread name suggests) started happening to me about 5 days ago. Usually when I paste things into a folder, if I want to add more files to the folder, per se, the folder "expands" or nudges the files over so that it makes room for the newly added files. My folders aren't doing that anymore. Instead, when I paste something new into a folder, it overlaps on the existing files that are already in the folder. It makes it look a little messy and its getting pretty annoying. If someone had any suggestions on how to fix this problem that would be very helpful.

Have you tried 'Restore defaults' and 'Reset folders' in Tools > Folder
Options > 'General' and 'View' ?

Just a thought.

- or perhaps a 'System Restore' to 6 days ago?
