    I don't want to do that by right click and then change the Icon size because is a part of a big projet. The W7 installation will be on WDS and some script will be applied on every laptop.

    Hello Marco,

    I have attached some REG files for you that will work for this. Once the REG file is merged, you would either need to kill and restart the explorer process, or log off and log on to apply the new desktop icon size without refreshing the desktop before doing so. If you refresh the desktop first, then it reapplies whatever desktop icon size you had set before merging the REG file again.

    Either way, it would be much easier to right click on the desktop, click on View, and select a size instead.

    Hope this helps if still needed,
