StimpyX Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Right-click on desktop and select Properties, then the Appearance tab. Click Advanced, choose "Icon" from the Item drop list, then reset the size (goes up to 72 pixels). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 and if you want your icons even bigger like 128 then you can easyily do it in the registry under current user...control panel...desktop....windowmetrics....shell icon size. then reboot or log on/ log off.

Bugs Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Gatorz, which app have you used to make transparent the start menu and windows as shown in Lomghorn screenshot desktop at your site...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 the only real easy way to have large isons only on your desktop is to set all your folder views to tile view. the program for transparent windows is called glass2k. get it here.... http://www.chime.tv/products/glass2k.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
