If you’re someone who loves to customize your Windows 11 desktop, you might be wondering how to adjust the size of your icons. Fortunately, it’s quite easy to do so in Windows 11.
Let’s start with the desktop icons. These mostly comprise of your shortcuts, and adjusting their size is simple. All you need to do is find an empty space on the desktop, right-click, put your mouse over “view,” and select your desired size. You can choose between large, medium, and small icons. However, if you want to adjust the size more precisely, there’s another method. First, make sure no icon is selected, then press and hold the “ctrl” key on your keyboard and scroll up or down with your mouse. This allows you to choose the exact size you want for your icons.
Now, let’s move on to the folders in File Explorer. Here, you can click on “view” at the top and select your desired size, from large to extra-large, medium, or small icons. You can also choose to view your folders as tiles, details, or a list. To change the size of your icons while in File Explorer, press “ctrl” and scroll up or down with your mouse. However, note that there is a limit to how big your icons can get in File Explorer.
As a bonus tip, if you notice that your desktop icons are disorganized, simply right-click, select “view,” and then click on “auto arrange icons.” To hide all your desktop icons, go to “view” again and select “hide desktop icons.” To bring them back, right-click, go to “view,” and select “show desktop icons.”
In conclusion, changing the size of your icons in Windows 11 is a quick and easy process. Try it out and see what works best for you!
