    .ICO troubles

    I've recently cleaned my computer up a bit and moved all my game folders into a single folder (Meaning that when i click on my "Games" folder, there are "Call of duty 4" and "Battlefield 2142" sub folders with the games inside them). After that, i created shortcuts and put them in a different folder so when i want to access any game, i just click that folder and pick which i want. I've downloaded a .JPEG version of all the box covers of the games i own so the icons look Puuurrrttyy But, when i went to apply these images i got an error message saying that it wasnt an .ICO . So, i Downloaded an ICO converter (IrfanView) to convert the images to ICO but, when i placed my newly created ICO's into the shortcut, they appeared very small. Even if the original was 600 x 900 pixels, it would show up at about 50x100 or less. Any suggestions?

        just found this...

        in vista "Press the Ctrl key while using your mouse scrollwheel to resize the icons."

        works in folders as well as desktop. I'm not sure this is the work around your looking for though. :p

          Nah, that just raises the resolution of some of the icons but some stay exactly the same
