• dumped the registry before changing, changed the menu, rebooted, check if small, dumped the registry and compared. Nothing really related showed up.

• i used the regmon tool (www.sysinternals.com) to see what registry keys were changed: again nothing relevant showed up.

• i used Wise (same as WinInstall) to create s snapshot of the changed made. I used the same sequence as mentioned in 1), bu instead of dumping the registry a made a pre- and postsnapshot. Wise than creates an .msi or .wsi in which the detected changes are packed. Again nothing.

The end of the story: still no clue which keys are responsible for the small icons
So i thought (optimistic ?) that maybe someone deep into COM scripting would know what to do....

You just need to set this one to 0 and either force explorer to reload the settings or logoff/logon. For the former, you can check the MSFT site: they'll surely have an easy way to force explorer to reload settings...
