Hi, in Vista icons size (Taskbar, Explorer) are a problem. They are too small or too large.
Only desktop icons size is customizable at will.
How can I set OTHER icons sizes in Vista?

In Windows XP I can set simply the wanted sizes editing 2 strings in the registry key:
HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\Windowmetrics
Shell Icon Size (for big icons)
Shell Small Icon Size (for small icons)



But in Vista ? How can I set sizes of small and big icons?
Thank you very much

Its possible on any explorer window just click the "views" arrow, then adjust the slider to the size you want.

If you have a wheel mouse, you can also hold down the ctrl key and spin the wheel to move the views slider.

Click the down arrow to the right of the "Views" button, then drag the slider to any desired setting between "Medium Icons" and "Extra Large Icons".

Any Vista user knows these "tips" but it's NOT what I want.
1) this tip doesn't zoom icons in folder tree panel at left.
2) this method doesn't zoom icons in details view. If I want details I have very small icons, and I can't zoom in any way.
3) If I zoom too much (over 40x40 pixels) I lose "columns view" and icons are scattered (not in columns).

In XP I can view exactly what I want, I enter the sizes (32x32) in pixel and icons size are perfect in all view modes (details, list) and panels.

The only way in Vista is enlarge Caption Button (and Active Title Bar) size very very large but "detail view" icons remain too small (about 20x20).
How can I set at least 32x32 ?
Where is stored in registry the size of icons in "details view" mode?
Thank you very much

I tried several ways (DPI scaling, enlarge Titlebar size, registry settings) but I'm NOT able to enlarge icons size in Explorer Details view.
Icons are microscopic (just 12 pixel in height) even with 40 pixel of Active Title Bar Buttons.

Does anyone know WHERE Vista stores view settings of each folder ?
Thank you very much

Have you tried following the tutorial that Brink posted here - Icons sizes in Vista are a problem

Yes, of course, but icons in details view remain microscopic (12 pixel height) !
I can't find any way to enlarge them.
Perhaps don't exist any way to enlarge small icons in Vista?
