Registry hack to set the desktop icon size to small - Win7 64bit
I am trying to find the registry key that will change the desktop icon size to small.
This is mainly for new users, or for the default user. I have workstations that have several people sharing them and need this for everyone.
I have looked in these locations:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\1\Desktop\IconSize
And
HKey_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\Shell Icon Size
I played with both these settings for myself, and the desktop icons do not change.
If I reboot, the first key value goes back to 32, and the second key stays at 96.
But my icons never change in size.
I am looking for any way to do this in the registry.
I could try copying the ntuser.dat but fear I will still have issues with paths, and other defaults that will cause the same problem I had originally.
