Can anyone tell me the setting I have to tweek to allow 128x128 icons on the
desktop. I personally think its scandellous not allowing this option as a
setting when Ballmer said "everything will be customisable" -- note. if I do
allow 128 icons can it be restricted to just the desktop environment, I dont
want the start menu to blow out of shape.

Thanks

Click a blank area of the desktop, then press & hold <Ctrl> while scrolling
up with the mouse wheel.

I have Vista on my laptop but have to use an internet cafe to use the net,
just was surprised that it was so easy. Yes it did work for me, I am
greatfull but perplexed as to why the feature is not shown off!
