Remember to UNCHECK Use Large Icons.

1. Right-click on the Desktop and select Properties
2. Under the Appearance tab select Effects
3. Uncheck "Use Large Icons" (There is a bug in Windows
where using large icons (size=48) causes all the icons in
Explorer, when you insert a CD, to show as IE icons)
4. OK
5. Under the Appearance tab select Advanced
6. Click the "Item:" down arrow and select "Icon"
7. Select a size. (small=16, medium=32, large=47 *Not 48)
8. OK, Apply, OK
