    Icons in desktop are too big


    I have just installed W7 on my computer.
    I'am dualbooting W7 and XPx64.

    Something I noticed, is that the icons in my desktop are bigger in W7 than in XP.

    How can I adjust the size ?

    icons


    Hold down ctrl and scroll mouse wheel

    then you can adjust the horizontal and vertical in personalized/windows color/advanced settings to get icons closer together

    Right click an open area on the desk top. Go to View and select the icon size you want.
