I had been using Vista in my notebook with screen resolution of 1440x900, at that size, the desktop icons are not as annoying as many claimed it to be. However, today is a different story, using a CRT with screen resolution of 1024x768 attached to my notebook, the desktop icons looks like giants! And yes back in good old XP, the icons were okay.
To make Vista icon look like that of XP, right click on a vacant space on the desktop, select VIEW and then CLASSIC ICON. That would make them small just like XP. Note that only the icon size is changed, the space allocated for a normal Vista still stay. So to change this, again right click on a vacant space, select PERSONALIZE, then WINDOW COLOR AND APPEARANCE, then click the ADVANCED button. Change the drop down item list to ICON and change the size to 16 (minimum). Click OK and APPLY the changes... TAH DAH!!!
