    So I recently upgraded to Office 2007 Enterprise and the installer decided to ravage my system. After restoring most of the system font changes the installer decided to do, I'm left with two problems shown in screenshots.

    First screenshot: Why are my icons so huge? Can I adjust that somewhere?

    Second screenshot: Uhh...I don't even know...but any idea how to fix it?

    My font setting is at Large, but it was at Large before the Office 2007 installer somehow screwed up all my system fonts and I didn't have that folder view issue. It might be what's causing the huge icons in Office 2007, but I want to avoid changing it because for some reason, Windows now defaults my fonts to Segoe UI, which is just butt-ugly in XP. Thanks for the suggestion :).
