Try this:

1. Hover over an icon on your desktop.
2. Hold down control.
3. Hold down the left mouse button.
4. Roll the wheel on your mouse.

I just tried it and was able to make them as small or large as I wanted.

You rule dude. How in the heck is the average user supposed to figure that out?

Bing of course...

You mean the Microsoft front end to google?

Interesting read. I never use Bing anyway, but certainly interesting.

I was told yesterday by my VA Rep that Bing is a lot better than Google. I don't know but if that is what she trusts I guess I would too. RTR!

Depends on your definition of "better"

OK, what would be your opinion, do you think google is just as good as any? I am not sure myself just taking someone elses' words for it. RTR!

The average person won't care about the size of the icons.

My favorite thing about windows 7 is the instant access to the desktop. It's the only thing I learned in our 3 hour "training" with the trainer at school.

My personal opinion is that you can't go wrong with Google if you simply want search results. Microsoft has their own interests covered first and then objectivity second. I also find Microsoft products to be cumbersome and intrusive. Google can be intrusive as well but they are more up front and open about it so you know what you are getting. Those are just my initial thoughts. It's really all a matter of preference. If you are looking for something on the internet, they will all get you there. It's just a matter of how.

I hate it, it's stupid. It's made for really old people or children. It makes funny noises, the icons are huge and I cant make them smaller with changing the resolution which doesnt look right. Why can't they have a "I'm not an idiot" setting? What was wrong with XP? Can I get a "classic" view?

Windows 8 is on the way already.

Boy, I couldn't agree more. I saw it when Hedduk put it on his computer and said "no way!" - I'll keep my XP. And I loaded the new Office (2007, I think) and hated it. Went back to my old Office which at least I knew how to use. My computer is now 5 years old and doesn't have a huge amount of memory so it's almost full - too full to even run disk defrag.

My Ipad 2 will be here in 14 days. Once I master it, my next computer will be a MAC. I have cussed Bill Gates so much I just don't have any more breath to waste on him.

And PS, I don't think Windows 7 is made for "old people". Hedduk can't figure out anything about how to do things and cusses it constantly - he is having weird screen colors and even program problems. His computer is at least two years newer than mine but may hit the trash first! Cheesy
