Not sure you can do just the desktop icons.
Open up registry editor then navigate to the following:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics
In the right side of the panes you want to edit the following value: Shell Icon Size
The value for it is pixels so 16 will be smaller icons while 32
will be larger.
Reboot for the change to take affect.
***You should backup the key before you start modifying***

Unless you are using "Windows Classic" setting that does not always work as those buttons will be greyed out.
