No doubt this has been covered before but I can't find the thread. Anyway what i'm lookin to do is make the icons on my desktop big. I've done this but IconPackager has made every other icon on the computer big aswell. Any programs out there that only make the icons on the desktop big and nothing else?

when you bump the icon size in system, it jumps up all the icons. I'd reccomend making em hella big, then changing the view of your folders to tiles or details or list, so they're smaller sizes

The newest beta of DesktopX 2 can do alot of stuff with desktop icons, but you have to be an Object Desktop subscriber to get it.
Personally I don't keep any icons on my desktop, but I have ny icon size at 48. I also have my small icons size set at 32. It's a cool effect the icons are 32x32 in details view. Check out this screenshot: http://2sdw.com/jan2.jpg.
To change the shell small icon size add this regkey: HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\Shell Small Icon Size then add a string value with the size.
