    Make window progam shortcuts look like XP ones


    Hello Friends,

    When i "view" program shortcuts in Windows 7 as "Small Icons", the shortcuts become too small to be
    seen comfortably. When i use "Medium Icons", they stretch a bit more and start becoming blur.
    What i want is to make them the size of the icons is Windows XP. Is there a way out ??
    Please let me know.

    Regards..

    If you can find a XP shortcut image you can change it with this tutorial.

    Thanks Jerry, the tutorial that you provided was which i was actually looking for some time, though
    for my scenario, it does not hold good. But thanks anyways for your help. I found from SuperUser website, that when you press CTRL and move the mouse wheel up/down, it changes the size of the shortcuts. I tested and found it working !! But that too is not what exactly i want.
    I want to change the icon size system-wide.
