Icons How do you
Monday, January 27, 2003 by Ande | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
change the size of the icons on the righthand side of the start menu. Everywhere else the size changes. I just know the answer is going to be bloody simple.

I have a Admin account.
I've checked the settings. I have rebooted. I also have logged off and logged back on. It's just weird. I even checked all the programs that are running to see if any of their settings overrides.

Any luck yet, Sid? Sorry - I had to crash. If not - try reboot into safe mode, and then logging on as 'Administrator' - then try resetting the settings for user account. After that check all your security policies again (if you're running XP Pro. I know Home doesn't -use- local sec policies - but there's gotta be some way to check.)

I am just kicking this thread back up. Original question was - Can the icons on the right side of the start menu be resized. I can change the size of all other icons but not those.

To the best of my knowledge the icons I assume you are refering to are the ones under the programs section of the menu.
Windows doesn't provide you with a way to increase the size of those icons.
However, you can trick your eye into seeing them larger by using some ridiculously low screen res like 800x600.
But who wants to do that?

Ande, as far as I'm aware of there is no way to increase the size of those icons....
Just another Windows limitation imposed on those of us who want to tweak until we just can't tweak it no more...

Oh yeah, XP...
Are you asking about the My Computer, My Music, My Documents, Network Connections, etc. icons?
Yeah you can't change those either...
sucks don't it?

Ande...you could use Objectbar. Then you could have the icons any size you want, any font you want, and anything you want on the start menu in any order that you want it in...

O', there is a way. It's if you really want to get your hands dirty. You can mess with the reg.
IF you want that info. I'll post it. That's only if you are willing to mess with them.
