| | Yup, a seriously gay inovation by M$, I have a 20.1" monitor on 1600x1400, and they still are way to big. I suppose its for people who have poor hand - eye coordination to double click on icons :/ Try looking at a low res graphic as an icon - it gets so pixelated its rediculous!

| | I figured it out, right click on desktop, then on view, then click classic icons. |

| | Hmm. As someone said, this is one of the features of vista. you can have large to very large icon options to choose. you can select classic icons which shows you small icons. if you still feel that its still a problem.. see if your hardware requremets are met for vista inatallation. also, turn off the aero feature and see if you are able to see them in normal size. let me know if you still have an issue.. i am in process of digging things out.. i can help you.. This is a useful link if you wold like to reduce the size of the icons... enjoy http://www.rw-designer.com/vista-icon-editor |

| Yep, medium icons are now the best IMO. The classic Icons are now too small in RTM. I try not to let my desktop get too cluttered with folders and stuff but it still tends to happen.

| Yea i know this is an old thread but i think that if you hold down ctrl & alt then you can use the mouse wheel to get the size you want.
