Right click on your desktop and go to view. It will allow you to set Large, Medium or Small icons.
Alternatively, you can hold down CTRL and scroll with the wheel on your mouse (if you have a scroll mouse) and it will adjust the size of the icons accordingly.

I actually tried this on my new computer last week as I dislike the massive icons too but the settings were not retained on boot-up. I'll have another go.

The settings should be retained - both from setting with "view" or with the mouse wheel. If they don't, you have a different problem.I actually tried this on my new computer last week as I dislike the massive icons too but the settings were not retained on boot-up. I'll have another go.
