Vista Icon Sizing a New Problem ?

[sarah_louise]

One of the most annoying Vista features for me is the display of large icons despite the resolution setting of max and 32 bit on my large monitor. They will not scale down below 16 but look enormous
I used to be able to position the mouse on the desktop (close all other windows) , hold down the CTRL key and then use the scroll on the mouse to resize them neater, sharper and smaller.

I have just received a number of updates and this simple procedure which I have advised others on many occasions does not work now.

Anyone have any ideas, could it be an update ?.

Also had to enter all log in details on Answerbank today..very odd

Once you have the screen resolution you want, right click on desktop, scroll down to view and select the icon size you require.

by the way, just tried your ctr + mousewheel for icon sizing and it works fine on mine (vista home premium)

Thanks
I had tried your first answer and even the small icon size option is huge. When you go Personalise. theme etc..through advanced it would not go below 16 by default.

Vista Business and all updates to last Friday is my status.

It was OK with my resized method a week ago. They have changed today and do not respond.

The CTRL and scroll wheel works on mine too.........Vista Home Premium.I also did the updates last week.

Thanks both.
I have just done System Restore back a week and it is OK now.
It must be an update problem.
I also had a Nvidea Graphic Card Update amongst them which is most likely come to think of it/
