What about Windows 7 in Personalize – can’t get the options. Then the ctrl and wheel works. and right click and view change size

Most of the icons you add to your desktop will be shortcuts, but you can also save files or folders to the desktop. If you delete files or folders that are stored on your desktop, they are moved to the Recycle Bin, where you can permanently delete them. If you delete a shortcut, the shortcut is removed from your desktop, but the file, program, or location that the shortcut links to is not deleted

Like the author said, some people enjoy playing with the registry.

Anyhow, let’s suppose that none of the options provided in the method you’ve given (small/medium/large) is suitable for someone; that 5-level depth menu method will let someone tweak their desktop to exactly the way they want it.

If you’re going to act all smug and crap all over the author’s attempt at presenting all the methods known for re-sizing the desktop icons then the least you could do is bring something new to the table; instead, you merely present a method that was last mentioned on this blog over two months ago, and first mentioned over two years ago.
