I am in a sticky situation. PLEASE HELP.

I was trying to change an icon, but I accidentally changed the file icon.

“There are a few of the file types that won’t let you change the icon using this method… for instance you should not use this to change the icon for folders or drives or else things will go haywire. (or they did for me)”

This is my problem. Please tell me how you fixed it.

Anyone’s help is much appreciated.

Thanks.

My icon is blurry when I view it as a tile. It is clear when I view it in list form. How do I make the Tile form clear and not blurry?

@derek – Then I would suggest downloading and installing TweakUI for your OS from Microsoft. Install it and examine all settings for your system.

BTW, which OS are you running?

sorry Hermitt but your suggestion is like all the others I have tried. It doesnt just change the icons on the desktop. I did what you said and then opened my documents folder and all the icons and folder icons inside were also bigger ie they had gone from 32 to 48 in size.

@derek – If you want to change JUST the size of the desktop Icons then simply right click on a blank spot on your desk, choose Properties > Appearance tab > Advanced > and change the icon size under ITEM to any number such as 48 or 64 etc…. The default size is 32. To restore the Icons to default size just repeat the above process and enter 32 as the size.

HSHin your suggestion is no good for me as I only want to change the icon size on my Desktop NOT anywhere else. If I do what you say the folder icons are made bigger throughout the system.
