The icons are the only thing that is small?
You clearly have seen Chang's *insert dirty word here*


Anyways, just change the size of your icons.

right click on desktop, press view, change icon sizes.

Assuming this is your problem.

Are you using a higher resolution than before? Or higher than you're used to? If so, high resolution = more space = smaller things because more space.

If not, make sure you update text size and icon size to your liking.

Text size: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Icon Size: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Also check to make sure your current resolution is native to your monitor.
