    8. When finished changing Control Panel icons, you can now close Registry Editor if you like.

    9. If the Control Panel is currently open, close and reopen it to apply.

    That's it,

    That's it , I've had it with the control panel window

    those icons are always in alphabetical order. it resizes to fit based on the window size, so if thats changing, then you're changing the size.


    either you're resizing the window before closing it (and therefore, it opens at that size next time) or you have some kind of cleanup program (such as Ccleaner) wiping windows list of window positions and sizes.



    by default, windows 7 does not resize your windows on you, OR reorganise the control panels icons in anything but alphabetical order.
