That's only for the start menu, the toolbar icons are also large.

Right click the desktop, select properties, go over to the appearance tab. Make sure 'Font Size' is set to 'Normal', then click the Advanced button.

Pick 'Icon' from the dropdown combobox. Size should be 32 with Tahoma 8 for font.
'Icon Spacing (Horizontal)' should be 43.
'Icon Spacing (Vertical)' should be 43 as well.

There are a few other places you can affect icon size but hopefully this will clear it up :).
