How and where does Windows XP SP2 modify the Desktop Icons for size?

Compaq c300 Laptop running Win XP SP2, and I just fired up the machine to find the Icons have increased in size and would like tomhave them back to the small 16 px display size.

surely these don't simply modify themselves? Must be a setting someplace, but I can't seem to find it...

Off the top of my head it's in Display Properties (right click the Desktop, Properties). Go into the Advanced dialogue (the one with the preview of a variety of windows at the top, can't remember exactly what it's called). Select Icon from the Item drop down list and set the size in pixels using the spinner.



EDIT: Images from Google are so much better at describing what I mean

Rvalkass is correct use the following steps to change the size of the icons:

1. Right Click Desktop + Choose Properties
2. click on the Appearance Tab
3. In the Appearance Window click on the button called “b]Advanced[/b]
4. In the Advanced Appearance Window in the item drop down menu select icon and change your size from there.

Thanks.

Resolved. Closed.
