icon sizes
Friday, January 2, 2004 by SouthernFlower | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
is there any way on Windows Xp to change the size of the desktop icons? I'm currently just using window blinds and cursor xp, if you need to know. I do not have desktop Xp though. I would like the images to become larger and different sizes if possible.

Display Properties=>Appearance Tab=>Effects=>Check Large icons.
I'm sure there are other ways
, but that's the easiest.

That's how I ended up with 48x48 on the desktop. I sure wish there was a way to make the icons in the explorer panes larger.

IconPackager will set them as large as 72x72. Look in Settings > Icon size.

Koasati, that won't change the icons in the explorer panes. Like the Directory pane or the Files pane.

you can make them larger through the registry, but some dialogues look funny because some of the icons got cut off.
in
current user/control panel/desktop/windowmetrics/
change the shell icon size to whatever

Thanks for that tip 3/4Crazy Travis. I just want the explorer icons bigger. Changing the icon size in IP didn't seem to do anything at all.

Sorry...... misunderstood I did.....
werewolf, I had to rebuild the icon cache before it changed anything for me.

what is said will make the icons in explorer bigger if you select icons as the way files are shown in explorer. as far as I know that is the only way. I think you might have to restart though to see the effect. It also makes your desktop icons bigger..

I guess i was wrong, I need to read closer. But if you want icons all the way up to 256x256 you gotta work to do it
