Hello Bella,

It may be your DPI settings. Double check to make sure that it is still
set at the default of 96 DPI.

Hope this helps,

You might see if doing a '*_System_Restore_*'
(http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/76...store-how.html) using
a restore point dated before this happened may be able to fix this for
you automatically.

See if this will do it

Desktop\Properties\Appearance\Advanced\Item and scroll down to Icon and reduce the
size and Apply and then test. Repeat if necessary
