rvalkass 5 Report post Posted December 8, 2007 Off the top of my head it's in Display Properties (right click the Desktop, Properties). Go into the Advanced dialogue (the one with the preview of a variety of windows at the top, can't remember exactly what it's called). Select Icon from the Item drop down list and set the size in pixels using the spinner. EDIT: Images from Google are so much better at describing what I mean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right Click Desktop + Choose Properties 2. click on the Appearance Tab 3. In the Appearance Window click on the button called ?b]Advanced[/b] 4. In the Advanced Appearance Window in the item drop down menu select icon and change your size from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
