Change the Size of Desktop Icons (All Windows)

Are your icons too small? Or too big? This setting will let you resize them to suit your desktop preference.

Open your registry and find the key below.

Create a new value named ‘Shell Icon Size’ and set the value, or modify the existing value, to equal the size of your icons in pixels. Smaller values = smaller icons!

Settings:
User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics]
Name: Shell Icon Size
Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
Value: Size in Pixels (Default = 32)
