it may be your resolution. with your mouse, right click on your desktop. select properties. then go to settings. change your resolution. the higher the resolution the smaller the icons. so you may want to increase the resolution size and that should help.

Just to add, You change resolution by moving the slider. You may have a range of 640x480 up 1280x800.

If that doesn't help, you mom may have changed your video adapter.
