Control Icon size on DeskTop - (XP)

Is there a simply feature to decrease the size of icons on Desktop view. Would prefer icons same size as viewed in system toolbar / systray, with text inline to the right. There is a caveat option that does this automatically in Uptimer4 (9th on list). You can exit the program and the setting remains. But no matter how you do it (program active or closed), the setting does not hold after powerdown. Uptimer is a tiny program, this supplied caveat feature was originally provided by WinTidy2.
TIA

 

The only way I know of, is Control Panel, Display, Appearance, Advanced, Icon (in the Item box), decrease size to whatever you want.
Minimum seems to be 16, which is really really small at 1152x864

 

Thanks reboot, sized down icons down to 16, perfect size. Increased icon spacing (horizontal) from 43 to 90 so have no text wrap. One more step..... any ideas how to get the icon and it's associated text field to be on the same horizontal line?

 

Thanks Pete.

Was afraid of that when I couldn't find any text edit fields.
