Introduction |
Recently I learned a new feature with Windows 7 and I
really liked it and wanted to share it with you !
Well ... in this article, I will be showing
you how you can simply change the Desktop Icons to
whatever size you desire.... large or small icons, you
choose.

Usually, with Windows 7, when you want to change the
size of the Desktop icons, you would right click
on any empty area on the desktop, and then click on
View, and then select the size of the
icons, either Large, Medium or
Small icons.
For example, below is a quick comparison between the
three different default sizes :
| Small Icons |
Medium Icons |
Large Icons |
 |

But how about if you want to customize the icons
size, for example, to set them larger than the default
large size ?? well here is a hint on how to
set the icons size to any size you want:
- Using the left click of the mouse, click on an
empty area in the desktop. This step is to make sure
that there is no application selected/clicked on.
- Using your keyboard, press and keep holding the
CTRL button, then using your mouse wheel, roll it
upward to make the icons size larger, or downward to
set the icon size smaller
As you will notice, now I can have very large icons,
as seen in the below snapshot
or very small icons
or any other size in between, depending how I roll
the mouse wheel.
Note : At any time, if you desire to restore the
original size of the desktop icons, then read the first
paragraph of this article again :)
Summary
Whether you want very small icons, very large
icons or any size in between, you have full control to
set the icons size to any size you want. For example, in
my case, I have tens of icons on my desktop, and having
control to customize the icons size is very helpful.
