Solved Why do some desktop icons keeping shrinking?
For some unknown reason, a couple of my desktop icons keep shrinking. When I started up my notebook this morning, AGAIN another icon shrunk. This happens even when I haven't started anything---I just signed on to Windows.
I've attached two jpg's. The first is a snapshot of my desktop icons before I signed on this morning, the second is after.
P.S. The icon come from the file located in C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll
Anyone else having this problem?

Yeah!
Shawn,
Thanks for your reply. I rebuilt the icon cache and it seems to have worked.
I am setting this as solved.
Again, thanks.
