hi, im wondering if i can change the size of icons on my desktop (i like them big on the desktop) but no where else, when i make them large it enlarges them also in the start menu and dosnt look good because it makes the menu much bigger and also icons that arnt ment to be large all pixelated. im guessing i cant but you never know right hehe.

Thanks

Try IconX. You can set desktop icons to any size you like, even 256x256

Great little program.

Try Avedesk, is the best when it comes to desktop icons resizing, coloring, mouse overs effects, labeling, sublabeling...

Ah yes and is Avedesk free? Because if possible I want to get one that's free lol.

I went to the Avedesk site but I don't get how to operate it...

And yes Avedesk is free. I've found that I can have more running with it and use less resources than desktopx.

Ah yes now it works thank you. BUT I have another problem... I can't seem to download AveDesk 1.3... It just crashes whenever I click avedesk.exe I've tried doing register.bat first and then click avedesk .exe but no, also when i tried reg_shellext.dll I get an error saying that the module AveDeskExt.txt can't be found... What can I do?

I'm not sure, I think all I did was unzip the program and run it that way. I don't really remember "installing" anything. You might get more help though posting in the Avedesk forum over at Aqua-Soft.
