When I start Windows 7 (32 bit) the desktop icons appear llarge and

But every time I restart Windows auto arranged large icons appear on

Right-click on the desktop, select View, pick what you want for options
regarding icon size and auto-arrange.

Thanks for that! So obvious. I'd been wondering why changing the size of
"Icon" (right-click on [empty part of] desktop, Personalize, Window Color
[!], Advanced appearance settings... [that last step only necessary if you're
using an Aero theme]) didn't work. It's obviously an oversight that that
parameter was left in the list there!

Looks like you've only got a choice of three sizes - Large, Medium, and
Small. (Fair enough, otherwise designers would have to spend all their time
making icons for different sizes, and whatever file contained them would be
huge.)

Here's another useful method that I used to get the exact size I
wanted: Left click any empty spot on the desktop to unhighlight any
desktop icons. Now hold down the control key and rotate the mouse
wheel up or down to resize the icons to your desired size.
