Wink Icon size too big or too small?

Posted before but just to remind you if you new to Vista or a Clean Install and forgot how to do.

How to Resize and Change Vista Desktop Icons Size
Do you find the icon size on Vista desktop too big or too small? The effect of visual appearance on shortcuts and programs icons is more stark when users adjust and change the monitor screen resolution or font size in DPI scaling, where the icons size becomes bigger and smaller to an uncomfortable level.

Users can easily resize Vista desktop icons or change the size of icons on Vista desktop. There are two methods to resize the desktop icons - classic normal way and trivial way, depending on your preference and also the ’size’ that you want to change the icons to.

How to Resize Vista Desktop Icons - Normal Method

It’s pretty simple. Simply right click any empty blank space on desktop, and select View in the contextual menu pops up. In the sub-menu, select Classic Icons for smallest icon size, Medium Icons for default icon size, or Large Icons for largest icon size.
-----------------------------------------
How to Change Icons to Any Size in Vista Desktop via Trivial Way

Press and hold down the CTRL key on the keyboard, then scroll the mouse scroll whell or trackball in the middle to resize the desktop icons size. Scroll up for larger size or down for smaller size. Best advantage is that you can select many out-of-range or intermediary sizes which not selectable in the menu.

If you can’t get the trick to work, click on any empty space on desktop once to get focus on desktop itself.

Note that the hack only change icon size, but not the font size.
