I'm running XP Pro SP1 on two machines, my work laptop and my home system.
Yesterday evening, I applied the latest high priority updates from the
Windows Update site - all 10 of them - to both systems. After applying the
updates, I noticed that, on both systems, the folder icons in the left hand
pane (= the navigation pane) of Windows Explorer are now considerably larger
than those that appear in the right hand pane. (I have Windows Explorer
looking like it appears in Windows 2000, and I use the "Details" view in the
right hand pane.) I find the result really annoying.

Has anyone else experienced the problem? Does anyone know which update
might have caused it to happen? Does anyone know how to get the icons in
the left hand pane looking as they did before I applied the updates (other
than uninstalling the updates!)?
