Why are the icons on my desktop massive?

[Windows Central Question]

How do I reduce them? (My cat stood on my keyboard & when I tried to use the mouse it made them all tiny, then enormous. It became a kind of zoom in tool!)

Is it just the icons or the entire screen in general? I think your resolution might've changed by accident..

For windows 10: settings > system > display > advanced settings (scroll down a bit) > move slider to "recommended resolution"

For windows 7: control panel > search for screen resolution (search box in the top right corner) > set to recommended

If it's just the icons, right-click on the desktop and change icon size (under View).
