There are NO small icons in folders in Windows 7 - How do you fix?
I did multiple google searches for a solution, but apparently nobody else on the planet is using Windows 7 as a graphical user interface (i.e. putting a set of folders in folders, then having icons in each folder, and opening up each folder, to decide what program you want to run). I am autistic (asperger's syndrome) and I prefer to use my Windows as a graphical user interface, and that is how I been using it since Windows 95. I been using computers as a graphical user interface since the Mac Plus in 1987. Folders inside of folders. Icons inside of each folder. You click on whatever icon for what you want to run. Everytime Microsoft comes out with a new version of Windows, Windows becomes LESS of a graphical user interface and Windows 7 can't even be called by definition a graphical users interface unless you use third-party programs like "Shellfolderfix" to fix the flaws in it. But this is off topic.
My problem is, there are NO small icons in folders in Windows 7. This is a serious problem for someone trying to use Windows 7 as a graphical user interface. Small icons have existed and worked fine in folders in Windows XP for over a decade. There are NO small icons in folders in Windows 7. Small icons exist on the desktop in Windows 7. But the smallest size of an icon, you can get in a folder is medium. Some applications do not even have a medium icon, so when you install the application, you just get a blank icon when viewing the application in a folder in Windows 7 which looks awful. I can't believe there isn't millions of complaints on google about this. Before someone points out that there is a small icon option in folders in Windows 7. What I am talking about are icons, that look like icons, and act like icons. Also I am talking about what has been called small icons for the last decade. Even Windows 7 itself seems "confused" as to the definition of small icon, since it has different size icons for small icon on the desktop and in folder view (real smart of Microsoft to totally screw this over). The invalidly named "small icon" option that Windows 7 has for folders, gives you something that resembles a detail view. How do you get real small icons in folders in Windows 7? How do you get the same size small icons that you have on the desktop in Windows 7 to appear in folders?
Is there a fix, third party program, registry setting, or anything else I can do, to get small icons in folders in Windows 7?
