Hi!
Is there any way to make bigger only the desktop icons, without affecting start menu, autplay menu and etc icon size?
I tried to find answer @ google without luck.

If you're desperate, you could try:
CODE
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics]
"Shell Icon Size"="32"
"Shell Small Icon Size"="16"


I think these are the defaults for XP. Adjust to your needs. Don't forget to reboot.

I have not played with the numbers, but I think you need at least multiples of 8.
