Strange desktop icons behavior

Desktop icons seem a bit small by default, so I used control-mouse wheel to
enlarge them. Now they get small again when I perform functions such as
downloading and installing Windows updates, changing themes, etc. Don't know
what the connection is. Right-click and refresh on the desktop restores icons
to larger size. Anybody know what causes this behavior?

thx,
Ron

Morning Ron. I had this happen to me as well. Here is a web page to help:

However, be advised that doing things like changing your display drivers my
cause you to need to reset the folder icons in any event.

Thanx, RiverDog. Looks a little complicated, but I'll give it a shot
