How do i make desktop icons use PNG's instead of .ico's?

from WinCustomize Forums

i have icon packager, but i cant figure out how to force shortcuts to use PNG's since they are much nicer to look at in larger sizes.

With iconpackager you can't. IconX and DesktopX can both use png images for icons.

Or you could get Objectdock. You can use .png or .ico on that. :grin:

You can always load them up in Icon Developer and create some really nice icons out of them. Pretty much the same thing.
