How to change Start menu icon size (make it smaller)

Did you pin a lot of programs to your Start menu and it’s now filled with tons of applications? You can easily change the Start menu icon size and make all of the icons smaller. Very easy to do, you just need to know where to look.


1. Step Right-click on the taskbar and click on Properties
2. Step Go to the tab Start Menu
