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.



Be aware that that's a Windows standard, and works, not only on the
desktop, but in many (but not all) applications.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding things, but on my XP PC, this has absolutely
no effect on the size of the desktop icons. Any suggestions? [I never
knew there was supposed to be this facility.]
