    Hello new to site old to forums. I just bought new HD laptop and the shortcut icons on the desktop are too big. I am getting familiar to Vista Premium but want to know how to make these icons smaller. Thanks in advance.

    Right click desktop>View>Medium Icons, if you want them the size as they were in earlier versions of windows (Xp, 2000 etc) choose view classic icons

    Click the Start menu button. Then click on Settings, and then on Control Panel.
    <LI itxtvisited="1">Step 2
    Double-click the Display icon or text link. This will open a window called Display Properties.
    <LI itxtvisited="1">Step 3
    Click on Appearance. Click on Item, then scroll down and click on Icons.
    <LI itxtvisited="1">Step 4
    Change the size of the icons by adding a larger or smaller number in the Size box that appears to the right. A larger number will create a larger icon and a small number will create a smaller icon.
    <LI itxtvisited="1">Step 5
    Click OK if you decide to accept the resized icons and fonts
