    Control Panel View Setting


    Hi, I am trying to get the control view to small icons either via registry or group policy. For whatever reason it is always set to large icon view.

    I am setting the following reg key HKU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\ForceClassicControlPanel

    REG_DWORD=1

    Any ideas ?

    Sorted !


    I finally found the reg key
    its HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ControlPanel\AllItemsIconView.
    Set this to 0 for large icons, 1 to small icons. Not sure where this is set in group policy
