Hi. Does anyone know if it is possible to change the size of the icons when using tile view in explorer? I know I can make the icons bigger by switching to large or extra large icons view but I like the extra information I get from the tiles view, such as drive space. Any help anyone can offer would be much appreciated.

Hi n1cecupoftea,

Welcome to Vista Forums. :party:

You can use the Advanced Appearance settings to adjust how the space for the icons. In step 6 of this tutorial, you can adjust the Size to a larger number for these Item options for what you are wanting:

1. Icon
2. Icon Spacing (Horizontal)
3. Icon Spacing (Vertical)

Hope this helps you,
Shawn

Thanks for the reply, I have followed those instructions. Unfortunately they only change the size of the desktop icons. I am trying to change the size of the icons when using tiles view in windows explorer.

A simple way to change the size in explorer is while you are in the details pane to press CTRL key and scroll down/up with the mouse (can be done too for desktop shortcuts)

Thanks for the reply, this does indeed change the size of the icons but does not solve my problem. I would like to continue using the tiles view as it shows extra information. So I would like to change the size of the icons when using tiles view in windows explorer.
