    Hello, Scootermyth. Welcome to the SevenForums.

    Have you tried right click an empty spot on desktop and choose View > Small Icons, or do you mean you want even smaller icons?

    Click a blank area on your desktop and hold - scroll your mosue wheel. You can also right click the desktop, view.

    You can also increase your resolution.

    Or, right click desktop, personalization, display, choose 100%

    Probably a silly question, but you did installed/updated your video drivers, right? In my dilemma over my graphics issue when I was operating without a 3D accelerator driver, my icons were pretty large at their smallest setting.

    That doesn't seem to do anything for me. Could it be because I am using dual monitors or something?

    Highlight an icon on your desktop.

    Keep your mouse over it

    Hold CTRL

    Scroll your mouse wheel until they are the desired size.
