How to change the default desktop icon size?
Solution 1
Right click on the icon, and then you will see an option to resize the icon. At least, in 12.04 it works.
For changing the default icon size: In Nautilus (eg your personal folder) > Edit > Preference > tab Views > under Icon View Default change the Default Zoom level.
But this change the size of all the icons inside Nautilus.
But in Nautilus you can change the icon size in a particular folder by View > Zoom in, to get the normal size of the icon in that folder, and this will be remembered after a restart.
Solution 2
-- Open file explorer
-- Edit > Preperences > Icon View Defaults
Set as you wish.
