    Giant Icons on Desktop


    My cat walked across my laptop keyboard. [How many help desk queries start like that?] Now the icons are very large and I can't figure out how to resize them. TIA for the help.

    :)

    Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.
