    I have 2 Win7x64 Pro computers sharing the same dual monitors on a switch

    Both are set at the same screen resolution and Text Size which is set to the "Smaller-100% ".

    Both computers have the same desktop icons yet one computer has desktop icons about 50% larger than the other.

    How do I reduce the larger icons to match the size of the smaller and still keep the same screen resolution?

    Or, click any blank space on the Desktop, then while holding down the [Ctrl] key, scroll the mouse wheel back (towards you) to make the icons smaller and forward (away from you) to make them larger.
