Whenever I resize the icons on my desktop and then reboot they revert back to their original size.

Any ideas on how to save my settings in Windows Vista?

Yes Simon, I just did it. As long as you have the side scroller thing enabled on the touch pad, it works.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to do this with a laptop touch pad?

Cheers

On my system you have to depress the mouse wheel for this trick to work, but then it does. Thanks, Geek.

Thank for your icon re-sizing tip. I installed Vista a few days ago and have spent hours downloading monitor drivers, blah blah.. to fix this problem. In a heartbeat your tip fixed this desktop icon thing. Thanks so much.

Fantastic tip, it even works for the desktop icons where normally you cant make them very small using the appearance tab.
