How To Make Start Menu Icons Smaller In Windows 7

One of the first things that I do after installing Windows 7 is change the default large size of icons in Start menu. As you may have observed, by default, recently used programs in Start menu appear with large icons.

 

Changing the size of icons in Start menu is a cake walk. By changing the icons size to smaller, you can view more recently used programs in the list. You can also organize your installed programs in Start menu by referring our how to manually organize Start menu programs in Windows 7 guide.
