Ive Increased the size of the icons in my computer buti cant get to increase the size of the icons in the start menu , like my computer, my documents, run , network connections etc. 
See the differance , i want the icons like computer control panel , printers & faxes too be big like the rest of the icons , i hope there is a tweak for this or maybe grand master KOL can himself answer my query .
Thnx
Have you tried right clicking your desktop, properties, appearence tab, effects and put a check on "Use large icons"?
if you edit your registry the size can go right up to 128 x 128
:woot: tek, yeah but don`t you think 128x128 is too big ??? Man.... i have this resolution on my desk -> 1280x1024 and my screen is a 20" one..... hehe the icon almost covered all my desk.... hehe i thought i was blind ..... oooH my god i`m going blind.... Oops i`m ok .. it is my 128x128 icon

i have a 17" screen and i use it at 1400x1050 resolution!
if i'd have a 20" one i'd use it at least in 2048x1536 
what a waste of a 20" monitor 
some 20" screens have crap refresh rates, so you wouldn't run that high a rez.
i have a 19" which is only comfortable at 1280 by 1024, (flicker is too bad above that)
and 128 by 128 icons don't look so hot. Except if in the dock(since their gonna zoom anyways) where i use up to 256 by 256 for icons that need high quality.
Can anyone tell me how to increase the size of icons? apart from using "Use large icon" cus its not big enough for me, not only me i think 
Tek has metioned about editting registry but i dont no which line I should edit? 
thanx in advance :bow:
go to this key and change the value for the shell icon size string to 128
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics

thanx alot (Y)
you could try this
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics]
"IconSpacing"="-2400"
"IconVerticalspacing"="-2400"
"Shell Icon BPP"="32"
"Shell Icon Size"="128"
But you will have all icons 128x128 so in folders you can use the tiles view and your start bar to get them small you can just use classic unless you want them that big
