Windows Vista GUI on 1080p

[Lehm]

Just got a new 1080p tv and thought it'd be cool to try to run a htpc on it. Technically it works great. But the default Vista GUI is way too small. Whats the best way to blow it up. I tried setting the res lower, but that just makes it look pixelated. I also discovered you can manually set the size of things in appearance...but there's no reset and frankly its annoying to do that. All I want to do is blow the gui up 2x...is there an easy way to do that?

I use Win7 on my 1080p 42" and just upped the DPI to 150%

ctrl + mousewheel on the desktop will make the icons bigger

Increase the DPI. Can't remember how high I have mine but I can read all icons and most text from 10-12 ft away just fine.

Got mine at at 150% on a 50 inch Plasma. Works fine for me.
