Change desktop icon size in Vista

If you don't like the big desktop icons in Vista, or they are not big enough for your taste, you can quickly adjust the desktop icon sizes by clicking on one, holding down the Control key and then using the scroll wheel on your mouse to adjust the size of the icon up or down.
