Hi, When did this happen, right after upgrading from vista or installing windows 7? It seems that you set your desktop icons to Large. Right click on blank from desktop->View->choose Medium icons, save settings.If not work, it is suggested to reset IE settings to eliminate the issue on the settings. This step will help us clear cookies, restore the security level back to the default settings, and disable third-party browser extensions. Before trying the steps, we can export the cookies so they can be easily restored later if you desire: 1. Press "Alt" from your keyboard, click "File", and click "Import and Export". 2. Click "Next", select"Export Cookies", and click "Next". 3. The file is saved by default to your Documents folder, click "OK". Reset Internet Explorer 8 ================= 1. Click Start, type "inetcpl.cpl" (without quotation marks) and press Enter to open the Internet options window. 2. Switch to the "Advanced" tab. 3. Click the "Reset" button to reset Internet Explorer settings. 4. Check the "Delete personal settings" option and click "Reset" button to confirm the operation. 5. Click Close when the resetting process finished. 6. Launch the Internet options window and switch to the "Advanced" tab again. 7. Uncheck the option "Enable third-party browser extensions" in the Settings box. 7. Switch the "General" tab, click the "Use Blank" button under the Home page area 8. Click Apply, click OK. 9. Close Internet Explorer window.
