    BTW, is it possible to make the folder thumbnail preview flat, plain, not like the default angular preview ?
    That's a good question I never thought about it so I do not know.

    If you change your DPI settings to a higher percentage it will make that button bigger but it also makes everything else bigger it may be worth a try.

    I've not tried it, but if you sacrifice aero by using the classic windows settings, then can he make the desired change.

    In other words, he's reverting back to an XP look.

Increase Icon Cache Size
in Performance & Maintenance

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has come accros a way of increasing the Icon Cache size and also the Folder Icon Cache Size. Vista had some great tools for this but thus far no one seems to have thrown a Windows 7 tool in the hat for us geeks.:sarc: Thanks. Lloyd
On my old Win 7 computer the toolbar icons were pretty easy to see. Now, I'm just setting up my new computer and I've found the toolbar icons are really, really tiny. Actually, all the toolbars and controls have shrunk! Can someone tell me how to increase the sizes of the icons?
I've searched for a while now but can't seem to find a way to increase the size of the icons on the desktop toolbar. Maybe it's something that can't be done but it'd be good because they look silly that small when you have large icons set on the taskbar
I find even the smallest icon in an explorer window to be too large leaving a large spacing between file name text. I can't find anyone else having raised this issue so far? The icons are larger than in XP resulting in fewer file entries for a given window size
