Ok, I tried to change the size of the desktop icons, via the normal way, to size 72 but when I successfully did that, even the icons in the start menu went to 72. And I don't want that.

Here is what I want. I want to be able to pick and choose which icons on my desktop get to be 16 and which ones get to be 72. How do I do this?


Someone at another forum suggested I do it via a different shell, and he reccomended AstonShell. Hell...I tried that and didn't even SEE any icons on the desktops! I don't have the time to develop a skin, nor do I even know how.

So, back to my original question: How do I selectively change icon sizes on my desktop only??

Well to get all big icons on just the desktop, right click on the desktop somewhere and click on properties, Click on the appearance tab, click on effects, put a check in the box use large icons.

As for individual icons, I would love to know that one myself.

Roll with the changes! Lets Roll!
