My desktop icons were the size I liked.  Now they're not.  No, I didn't reset anything!  I really HATE software that changes things without my permission.  How do I restore them to the size they were, and their previous arrangement?  The font beneath them didn't change.  It was so much easier to configure things before Microsoft felt the need to make everything "simpler", deciding for you what you should want.  Thank you.

What works for me is holding down the Ctlr key and scrolling the mouse wheel.  Scrolling one way make the icons larger, the other way, smaller.

 

Good Luck

Thank you!  That works.  I got so flustered I just did a system restore, rather than waiting for an answer, but now that I see your answer I had to try it so I did Ctrl and rolled my mouse wheel one way, which made my icons smaller, then the other way, which made them bigger.  I'll remember it next time I need it.  Thanks again!
