Smaller desktop icons

[colblip]

Is there a way of adjusting the size of the desktop icons. Mine are larger than I like.

Right click on your desktop and go to view. It will allow you to set Large, Medium or Small icons.

Alternatively, you can hold down CTRL and scroll with the wheel on your mouse (if you have a scroll mouse) and it will adjust the size of the icons accordingly.

Nice! Good question. Great answer!

I'd have never thought of it, until I read the question. Just made mine smaller. Love it.

Thanks

Hold the CTL down and roll the wheel on the mouse. Works only if no applications are open.

I actually tried this on my new computer last week as I dislike the massive icons too but the settings were not retained on boot-up. I'll have another go.

The settings should be retained - both from setting with "view" or with the mouse wheel. If they don't, you have a different problem.

That's what I thought whs; I'll have another look later after a re-start.
