    how to resize desktop icon

    Open up registry editor then navigate to the following:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics

    In the right side of the panes you want to edit the following value: Shell Icon Size

    The value for it is pixels so 16 will be smaller icons while 32
    will be larger.

    Reboot for the change to take affect.

    Why worry so much?

    Go to Display Properties -> Appearance [tab] -> Advance [button]
    Select "Icon" from Item [dropdown] & change the size!!
