Uninstall TweakUI from the system (if installed). Open Start Menu, Settings, Control Panel, then click the Display icon. Select the Appearance tab. Select the icon in the Item Box. Increase the icon unit by 1. Select Apply. Decrease the icon unit by 1. Select OK. Delete the file %systemroot%\ShellIconCache Note: This file has a hidden attribute. Log off and log back on to see the correct icons.
