Try changing the number in this registry key...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\Shell Icon Size
If that doesn't work then I'd try a 'dirty' way to fix it and that would be a macro program that u set up and create a macro that changes the size of the icons from whatever size windows always starts with to the size u want. Just put the macro in your startup folder.

It sounds like this is what you want to do here
Change the size then go back to the icon set then right click lock it up
Or just use this and make them all disappear with a right click
fences downloads - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com called Fences it is a Icon tool
A friend on here gave this to me to make my whole walpaper shine it takes away all the icons and leave you with a screen like this
Probally make life easier if you try the program it is free good luck
I had the same thing happen a couple of weeks ago on my old Vista computer. Have no idea why. Ended up using desktopok to save the icon positions and restore them with a click. You can download it from CNEt.
This is my simple solution, found after a year of trying suggestions from various forums:
- Go to c:\Users\[account]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat
- Move the UsrClass.dat to a backup folder (I used "My Documents")
- arrange your icons, restart and let the system create a new file
