After some sort of accidental setting change while rummaging through and experimenting with accessability settings... for windows XP.. .my taskbar icons inadvertantly begame LARGER, and more pixelized. I was experementing with the Magnifier and such, however, after I was done, I MADE SURE... that all SETTINGS were back to normal and no accessability programs are running. The taskbar icons remain larger, however. I have tried changing the start menu settings... from larger to small, however, that only effects the start menu icons!!.. not the taskbar! .............. One interesting fact... is that where ever a small icon... such as those on the taskbar... appears, it also is larger and "thicker" if you will. The icon at the top left of the Internet explorer window... for ONE example. I expect the solution to this problem to be simple, however I"m baffled. Any advice? Please respond asap... these icons are too big for comfort, heheh

use restore point to go back. That would be the fastest way

hey i just got that (ie 5 mins ago). all u have to do is change the theme back to windows XP. the icons will revert. then u can change ur wallappers and so on. (to go to themes rite click on ur desktop, first tab is themes. drop-down the menu and select windwos xp. it will revert to the original theme with the island and tree wallpaper, and all font and icon changes will be undone)
