Large Desktop Shortcut Icons

Thursday, March 29, 2007 by babbageleaf | Discussion: Windows XP

I was wondering: in Windows XP, is it possible to change the size of the icons on your desktop from the default of 32x32? I would like to get some big, sexy 128x128 or so icons on there. Is there any hope of that?

You can do it with IconX or Avedesk, I use Avedesk and created a tutorial here for it.
