Vista Desktop Icons

I've been playing with 64 bit Vista for a few days now and only found one program that doesn't work and that is an old DOS one! However, the desktop icons are a bit annoying.

Vista has paced large sized icons on the desktop where I would have chosen something a bit smaller, like the ones used in XP. I haev been reading through the help fiels etc and cannot see if I can change the size or how. Could someone throqw some light on this please?
