Yes, Izzy -
Right click anywhere on the blank desktop and look closely at the menu. One of the choices lets you change the size of the shortcut images. Sorry, I'm not at my Vista system right now, so I can't recall the exact wording, but I'm sure you'll see it. --------------------  I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant! |

Ctrl + Mouse-wheel lets you easily scroll through all icon sizes.

Right on Alpha. I have found, after many months of using Vista, there is often an easy way and a hard way to do most things. Most of it can be found in "Help and Support", which most users seem to be reluctant to read. If you type "Desktop Icons" in the search panel of "Help and Support" it comes up with exactly what is written above!

I am suggesting that such a possibility may exist.
