ICON SIZE

Windows uses icons 32 pixels by 32 pixels as set as default.

You can modify this value by editing the registry.

Go to start menu / Run and type regedit

Scroll to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics

Create a new value and name it as “Shell Icon Size”. Give same the value that you wish in terms of pixels.
