Fix for: How do I reduce the desktop icon size in Windows 7?

Low Risk

If you click a blank bit of the desktop, hold down the Ctrl key and scroll down using the mouse wheel, you can scale down the desktop icons until they're almost non-existent. Ctrl + scroll wheel works to zoom in most applications (browser, MS Office, Windows Explorer, etc.).
