How to customize desktop icon size quickly and easily

How to customize desktop icon size quickly and easilyYou probably already know that you can change the size of the desktop icons in Vista the same way you did in XP, but it's a tedious process: right click the desktop, select Personalize, click Window Color and Appearance, click "Open classic appearance properties for more color options," click the Advanced button, choose Icon in the drop down box, and input a larger or smaller number in the Size field to increase or decrease the icon size. Ugh.Vista gives you a much easier way to do it:
Click the desktop.
Hold down the CTRL key.
Use your mouse's scroll wheel to shrink or grow the icons. You can scroll through 28 sizes, from tiny to huge. Cool!
