Remember to UNCHECK Use Large Icons.

1. Right-click on the Desktop and select Properties
2. Under the Appearance tab select Effects
3. Uncheck "Use Large Icons" (There is a bug in Windows
where using large icons (size=48) causes all the icons in
Explorer, when you insert a CD, to show as IE icons)
4. OK
5. Under the Appearance tab select Advanced
6. Click the "Item:" down arrow and select "Icon"
7. Select a size. (small=16, medium=32, large=47 *Not 48)
8. OK, Apply, OK

Hi Leonard,
Tried that but it makes the start menu icons larger too. I was just
looking for the Desktop Icons to be larger.
Thanks for your time,
Alice

Hi,
Is there a way to make the Desktop icons larger? I want only the
Desktop icons larger not rest.
Thanks in advance,

Right click on Desktop, choose Properties.

Click on the Appearance tab, then click on "Effects...".

Then check "Use large icons".


If it's already checked, or if you want even more control over them, instead of clicking on "Effects..." on the Appearance tab,
instead click on "Advanced", and then choose "Icon" from the dropdown menu. (It's right below "Desktop" which is the option
showing.) From here you can choose whatever size icon or text for them your heart desires. :-)
