I have been fooling around with my desktop and would like to make some custom icons.

I already have a program to convert photos into .ico files ( whatever the hell they are&#33 so that&#39;s not a problem.

Windows seems to have some sort if size limiter built in and I&#39;d like to know if I can supercede it. I have already made the icon I wish to use and it&#39;s on the desktop, but the size is too small. No matter the size I create, Windows reduces it.

Does anyone know how to work around this?

Thanks.

PS- The OS is windows XP Home.

You need Windows Blinds etc.Applications that allow you to customise the themes, cursors, taskbar, wallpaper, screensaver,icons, etc. to anything you want, at anytime. B)
