Is there a way to shrink the size of the desktop icons? I am using Windows
7 x64, with the screen resolution set to 1920x1080 (maximum allowed) and the
text size set to 100% (minimum allowed). I can find no option to change the
size of the icons except when the text size is increased, which is the wrong
direction.

"right click" Desktop/View, then select Large, Medium or Small Icons.

Thank you, sir. I totally overlooked the obvious!

You can get even more control over icon size by holding the CTRL key and
scrolling the mouse wheel, if you have one. I'm not sure if this can be
done any other way, so if you don't have a mouse wheel I'm not sure how you
would do this.

You're welcome. Thanks for posting back. It's not always done and it's good
to know that a suggestion work :)
