| Master | Re: Desktop Icon size Hi Shawn, I only need to hold down ctrl and scroll the mouse button - don't need to right click as well. Think you only need to use right click as well if it doesn't work with just the ctrl key and scroll wheel. I think this is true of most modern mice. ( The ones with clickable scroll wheels - in fact right clicking might stop you being able to do it if you have one of these). Seems it's the older ones where you also need to right click.

| Administrator | Re: Desktop Icon size Hello Elito, and welcome to Vista Forums. It should stay set the way you set it by default unless you change it. I'm not sure what may be causing this (bad video drivers?), but you can use the free program Iconoid to help maintain your desktop icon positions. You might also run a sfc/ scannow command to see if it can find and fix any bad system files that may be responsible. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Newbie | Re: Desktop Icon size I am having trouble maintaining my icon size. When I try to get them to classic size, my icons immediately swell back to the large size. Neither method below makes my icons stay small. What is happening? Thanks, Grams21 |

| Administrator | Re: Desktop Icon size Hello Grams21, and welcome to Vista Forums. At what point do they revert back to the large size? (ex: after playing a game, etc....) |

| Newbie | Re: Desktop Icon size It has happened most often after I have used the Skype video conferencing program. This never happened until I began to use Skype. Additionally I am using my laptop with an external monitor attached. Now everything is ok, but it has happened too many times. Everything is very very large!! It corrects by itself after I continuously click on the classic size. Sometimes it takes several hours to get my icons and all other programs back to a normal view. |

| Administrator | Re: Desktop Icon size With it being very large, it sounds like the DPI setting or screen resolution may be being lowered after using those items. You might see if the free program Iconoid can help maintain your settings easier until you can get the issues with Skype worked out. |
