Desktop Icons

Real quick question, where is the setting to reduce the desktop icon size. I have my monitor resolution set really small, but my icons are still way too big. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Chris

From the Vista Help and Support:

Right-click the desktop, point to View, and then click Large Icons, Medium Icons, or Classic Icons. (Classic icons are the smallest size)

I had to reinstall Vista right quick. I didn't have the view option, so I was kind of at a loss when I posted this. As a matter or fact when I right clicked desktop, I only had new as an option.

Easiest option in Vista:

Click anywhere on your desktop, press and hold CTRL, and scroll up/down with your mouse wheel to increase/decrease icon size, respectively.

Also check if you have your desktop icons locked.
