changing icon size and spacing

[Jeff@couldbeinvalid.com]

I know how to do this in XP but how does one change the spacing between
icons and icon size in W 7?
Thanks.
Jeff

Right click on the Desktop | Personalization | Window Color (At the
bottom). You'll recognize it after you get that far.

Works with windows 7!

The icon size in Windows Vista is quite large by default and it is quite a pain to go to personalize
and then change the icon size.

Here is a quick tip for those you use Windows Vista and have a mouse with a scrolling wheel.

To change the icon size of the desktop icons, click the Ctrl key while you are viewing the desktop
and scroll your wheel upwards or downwards to change the icon size to your satisfaction. That’s it,
its as easy as a click and a scroll.

Now I'd like a way to decrease the size of gadgets without reducing text
size.
