    Icon Size Registry Tweak


    "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\1\Desktop" /v IconSize /t REG_DWORD /d 00000032 /f


    So, you could just make a reg file and include it in the deployment set.

    I tried this on my desktop. I changed the value from 32 to 64, and then logged off and back on. It just reverts back to 32. I am guessing that when I log out windows saves the current setting.

    Is there a place to change the value for a new users, or set the default registry? Then any new user would get the setting I desire, being small 32.
