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

An Icon Issue
Win XP desktop icons take ages to show (7) Hi, first of all, a very Happy New Year to everyone. Now for my problem: I use Win XP SP2 on a 2.8
Ghz dualcore P4 processor machine, 1 Gb RAM, 250 Mb HDD. Whenever I boot up, or even when I return
to the bare desktop after having had a number of windows open for a while, my icons on the desktop
are all blank ones, such as the ones you get when there is no program associated with a certain
file. Then, one by one, they begin to get the appearance they should have, but it is a real drag
which takes ages, and the PC is not very responsive while it happens. I seem to remem....

Linux - Why It Fails As A Desktop Operating System?
(34) Linux is becoming such a craze nowadays that not even a single day passes without one or other
distribution releasing a new version. But why is it failing so miserably in the desktop arena. The
answer lies in three reasons. 1. The plethora of distributions -
Redhat,Debian,Ubuntu,Suse,Gentoo,Knoppix - everbody and his uncle is coming out with new ones. 2.
The lack of backward compatibility - I had Redhat 7.3 running. I upgraded to Redhat 9. Many
applications had to be recompiled. You ask my mom to recompile applications - She will throw out
Linux and take Windows anyday. ....

The Icons Of Zip Files Are Wrong Everytime!
Windows 2000 (3) Hello! I am going crazy for a silly little thing. Please help me anyone! The icon for ZIP files
never shows the way it is supposed to. Instead it insists on displaying the Windows 'default
document' icon for ZIP files. If I rightclick a zip and choose icon properties, I can set the
icon to be fetched from the winzip executable instead, and all looks fine and dandy inside the
properties dialog, but after refreshing or repairing icon cache it is still the default document
icon that is displayed. If I try to change the icon enough times it will eventually....
