Icon size bug

[Steve Cranshaw]

Has anyone else noticed this or have a solution? I have seen this now on 2
different computers I own. After a while, for no apparent reason, the
"large" desktop icons setting produces some smaller ones also. Specifically
it seems to be web short cuts. Some are large but some are much smaller, ie
2 icons which are identical (both web shortcuts) are randomly different sizes.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Brink - many thanks for your help. I have tried method 2 and it works so
this is certainly a workaround for me. However I cannot help thinking there
is still a fundamental problem here. What I mean is this. On my desktop I
have (for example) 2 icons for websites, 1 is called AG and one is called
Amazon. They are identical except for size, one small and one large. Thet
are both a blue "e" on piece of paper with the corner folded over a yellow
flash circling the "e". I have the setting to view large icons. When I
resize with ctrl - thumwheel the large one gets bigger, enormous in fact and
the small one is not resized. So apparently 2 identical objects act
differently.

Also on another computer I have seen this is not the case ie all the icons
are "large" and scale inc all the web shortcuts. Also when I create the icon
using method two you mentioned the icon does not have the white piece of
paper in the background.

So maybe there is sonething else going on here. Any ideas? Do you know how
to post a screenshot here and I could show you.

Many thanks for taking time to help me.

On another comp I use I get a similar effect with the ones being "small"
being the shortcut to word docs, even though I have it set to view large
icons.

Brink, OK that explains it, I didn't realise it was website-specific and not
a bug. Many thanks for all your help.
