There was an easy way to do this in XP if I'm not mistaken, but I can't find
the option in Vista Ultimate: I would like the icons on my Desktop to be
smaller in size, as the icons of some of my older programs look grainy when
enlarged as much as they are.

How would I go about doing this? Changing the resolution has not
particularly helped.

Thanks!

Right-click on the desktop, from the context menu select View > Classic
icons.

The easiest way to do this is to click on the desktop, then hold down
the Windows key and scroll the mouse wheel. One way makes the icons
bigger, the other smaller.

Note that this is a Windows standard, and also works in most
applications.
