mmm..almost looks like mine (size wise) I don't consider that too large but to each his own.
You could always make the desktop icons smaller by scrolling the mose wheel while pressing the CTRL key
and for the taskbar (which is by default larger than the one from XP) you could switch it to small icons
that should bring you back to the 8px smaller taskbar used by Vista
(Just right click on any blank space on the Taskbar, and then select Properties from context menu. On the “Task Bar and Start Menu Properties” dialog, go to “Taskbar” tab, and then tick or check the checkbox for “Use small icons” option.)

@Stormy: I'm sorry?
Thanks for all your help.
I thought this was no normal.
But is it okay for the screen resolution to be 1024*768 instead of 1280*768?

If you would rather have the icons smaller in the taskbar,
Right click the start orb
Choose Properties
In the Taskbar TAB, click the "Use Small Icons" box and click apply.
Your screen shot looks normal and it is different than Xp or vista.
I prefer the larger icons myself, but not everyone does.
The issue with the resolution may simply be due to your graphics card drivers, as already suggested.
Look in the device manager under 'Display Adapters"
See what it has your GPU listed as. If it simply says "Standard VGA adapter", you need find the correct drivers.

I looked, and it said Standard VGA adapter.
Do you know how to find the correct driver?

Then you need to update the driver for your Graphics.
We would need to know more information about your system, other than just the OS, to be more specific about where to get them and which ones you need.
Do you know if you have a Dedicated Graphics Card or if the graphics are integrated into the chipset?
