Ok I did both. #1 There is a box…"My current home page" It will not delete, or even give me the option. Synchornize, Properties, and New are the only options available. #2 Reg entry successful nothing happened though

FYI…and just in case I have caused any confusion…it is the Taskbar icons that are huge. Desktop icons are normal. errr can't post a screeny (understandable)

Right Click on the Taskbar> Properties> Start Menu> Customize> Select Small Icon's.

the icons in the start menu got smaller, but the icons in the quick launch section of the task bar are still ginormous

Are these on the right side where the clock is?

No, they are on the left side of the screen, adjacent to the start button.

Can you put the mouse on the line where the pointer looks like 2 arrows, then click, hold and drag to make the line / space smaller. Does that make any difference?

The slider is not there, but…………. I had the taskbar on the left side of the screen in a vertical position. I dragged it to the bottom of the screen, then on taskbar: right click>toolbars>unchecked quick launch>right click>toobars>check quick launch. It is all fixed. Start says start, icons are normal size again. Thanks again I mean this in the best way possible…I hope I never have to see you again

If you dont have these three programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster, Spywareguard and IESPY AD. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.

Safe Surfing.
