Smaller+Start+Menu+Icons

The new operating system of Windows Vista uses large icons by default in the Start menu. However, what if you do not like them that way Although Vista does a good job of hiding the setting for this pretty well, we can still locate it! Right click on the **Start** button and select **Properties**. Then click the **Customize** button.
 * Smaller Start Menu Icons**

Now, scroll down all the way to the bottom. You should see a checkbox for **Use Large Icons**. Go ahead and uncheck/tick that.

Ah, that's much better.
