    Desktop Icons wierdly bigger


    Hey =)

    I was looking for a Desktop Extender today and after installing it, I noticed that my desktop icons got bigger, not the icon size, but the 'background space' they occupy(see the image), I've already searched the program I used(VirtualWin) to extend and I found nothing on changing icons, I dont know if this happened before or after I installed, but I only noticed it after..

    Things I've tried:
    (Some are stupid I know, but I tried anything I could remember to change the desktop)
    Auto Arranging Icons
    Changing Icon Size(thru the right-click menu and by holding CTRL + Mouse Wheel)
    Changing Background
    Restarting
    Uninstalling VirtualWin and restarting
    Changing Resolution
    Change DPI


    Any ideas on how to turn them back to their original size?
    Much Appreciated
