YUP! Right CLICK on a clear area of your desktop, Select PROPERTIES,

Thanks,

I know that works, but I was hoping for a better way than to make the fonts

would spend more time fixing annoying things like this, in the OS that we
already have!

Didn't see the original post but can't you make the icons bigger. There are
loads of Accessibility options.
