Windows XP Home. I now startup with large icons on Desktop

[az.maverick]

I have tried various ways including 'System Restore' to revert these
larger icons that now appear on Desktop to their original size on my
wife's Dell notebook [on which she downloads games from Big Fish where
I am suspicious that the error has eminated].

I have also run spyware programs etc. but the problem persists.

I can't be the only sufferer. Searching via Google hasn't been too
helpful either so please can someone help!?

Change her resolution setting upward.
Rightclick the desktop, Properties, Settings tab, move the slider to the
right.

Your suspicion is correct, it may be the game changed the resolution to
16-Bits display monitor, resulting in a Big Icon.
As Mark Advised you, try to see the Display Settings by right clicking on an
empty spce on your desktop and select " properties".
On the Display Windows proprieties click on Desktop Tab and then click
Customize Desktop Button.
Then click on Web Tab and make sure nothing been checked there.
Click on Appearance Tab then Affects Button:
[ ] Use the following transition effect for Menu and tooltips:
[ Fade effect ][v]
[ ] Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts:
[ Standard ][v]
[ ] Use Larg Icons <= Make sure this option unchecked.

Then click [Ok] to confirm your changes.
Click Settings Tab, make sure the Resolutions been set correct and the Color
Quality to: Highest (32Bit).
HTH.
