Quick zoom on the Vista desktop

Displays are getting bigger and resolution is going up, and on Windows XP that's a problem: a high-res desktop leaves the icons tiny and hard to read. No such problem in Vista: just hold down CTRL and scroll the mouse wheel to blow them up. They'll be visible even at monster resolutions, as their size on my paltry 1,280 x 1,024 shows:


There's another benefit - you can see what's inside each document, as the zoomed-in screenshots above show. The same shortcut works when you're in Windows Explorer, so you can quickly zoom in to look at photos and documents without having to go to the bother and expense of actually opening them in Photo Gallery.
