If u changd da icon size, it wil giv a biga icon size. Rite-clik on da desktop, properties, appearance tab, advanced button, select icon, set da size 2 32, usually.

Your icons have a fixed size that is measured in pixels, like the size of an image on a website. Check your screen resolution. You may have accidentally descreased it, which has the effect of making your desktop icons larger since you are displaying fewer pixels on the screen.

Check the resolution on your computer. Go into Start>Control Panel>Display>Settings> Then slide the bar closest to "More"

Perhaps you have fallen forward and your face is pressed against the screen. Try resuming a normal sitting position and see if that helps.
