I don't know if you can solely change your Taskbar icon size. Each of the settings I know about changes something else also.

Try this first - this changes the Titlebar icon size, but should also change your Taskbar icon size as well:

Right-click Desktop, Properties,then Appearance,then Advanced, then in the drop-down menu, select Active Titlebar, set it to the increased size you want, i.e. 25. Click OK.

The following directions resize the Desktop icons, but I don't know if they will also resize the Taskbar icons. You could try it and change it back if they don't:

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

If neither of these suggestions work for you, try Googling the search term: "Taskbar icon size" for some additional suggestions.
