You can also press Control and use the mouse scroll wheel (if exisiting) while at the desktop background to change icon sizes.

Most people, unknowingly, hold the CTRL key, while using the scroll button on the mouse.
Use the same method to get your icons back to normal (if it's the desktop you're complaining about).
