Thanks mate, even though you'll probably never read this as you posted it nearly 4 years ago...
Anyway this fixed my problem too.
In my case, I know what made Windows do this stupidness - I just upgraded my motherboard, and without new drivers the USB wouldn't work, which meant I had no mouse.
In an attempt to enable mouse cursor control by keyboard, I opened the Accessibility 'Wizard'. As soon as I did this, the icons in the quickstart went just like yours - big, but not as big as the 'View > Large Icons' setting. It also made the icons in the notification area the same size, _and_ the icons in the application bars that appear on the taskbar for each running program. Basically, it made Windows look really, really rubbish (Yes, even worse than Windows always does look!)
Even though I cancelled the 'Wizard' (pah, if this is a Wizard, then I'm Harry Potter) the icons were left at this silly size.
Just thought I'd add this in case it helps anyone else (although I'm loathe to attract anyone to such a spam-riddled site as this one)
