Taskbar icon sizes messed up after Accessibility Wizard?

[Guest]

I was playing around with Accessibility Wizard and ended up increasing the size of
icons on the task bar

I was able to get back the smaller icons by re-applying the Windows XP style in the Display Appearances dialog. I also selected View Small Icons from the QuickLaunch options popup. Even had to change the Caption Buttons size to 24

However the following icons still look bigger than normal with jagged edges

- Windows logo in the "Start" butto
- Log Off and Turn Off Computer icons on the Start Men
- Same icons on the Log Off and Turn Computer Off Dialog
- "Start" text size on the start button

Does anyone know where the DIMENSIONS of these icons are stored? Explorer.exe? Registry

I've given up on trying to "undo" Accessibility Wizard which seems to crap all over XP when turned on. But I want to fix these changes. I did a System Restore, but no luck. It apparently does not keep track of these changes

Thanks

Thanks for the reg file. However, all of those entries are for basic Accessiblity settings such as sounds, keyboard delays, contrast. etc

It appears that the changes made to font and icon sizes are stored in some central settings. Because, even changing Themes, doesn't help revert the sizes back to normal

The only way I can get back the Log Off and Turn Off icons to appear in their original size in the Start Menu is by chosing Classic Start Menu view

I just want to know where the hell this stuff is stored. Even thought about getting Windows Plus to see it would fix it.

They are stored in different places. I have incorporated some into my
Taskbar/Start Menu Repair Tool.
