Default Desktop Icons

Windows Vista Beta 2 build 5384 has what seems to me to be extra large Icons.
I am able to increase their size in 'personalize' but I can't decrease their
size. Will MS include that function in the final release of Vista? I sure
hope so. Also, can we get rid of those shortcut arrows as in tweakUI for XP?

If you click the desktop, hold down the Ctrl key and spin your mouse wheel,
you can make them just about any size. You can also right-click, choose
View, and use one of those sizes.

Don't know about the future of TweakUI and shortcut arrows.

You can also try right mouse clicking the desktop, move cursor to view. You
get the options of classic, medium and large. Apparently classic is small.
No idea why they didn't just say small. Hope this helps

Hi Sandman,

This will show you how to fix them. See if restoring them will help
first. If not, then you should be able to manually select and change the
icon back (step 4).
