Automate Icon Size Change

[Ausonius]

Hi all!

First off, please do excuse my english.

Secondly, I'm looking for a way to change the icon size WITHOUT using XPize's Settings. Let me clarify to this: I'd like to know if there's some dll function or registry hack that will allow an external application to modify the size of the desktop icons ONLY (and refresh the desktop as well, to see changes inmediatly). I'm unaware if this is at all possible, maybe the icon size setting is global and will change all icons at once, regardless of them being on the desktop or not, but I figured it was worth the shot asking.

Thanks in advance.

PS: please excuse if this is n00bish, I'm new to this all customization stuff (and to the forum as well =P).

I'm not sure if you can set a specific icon size for just the desktop. However, "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\Shell Icon Size" controls the shell icon size. As for reloading, I suppose you could just kill/restart explorer.exe(or whatever shell you're using).

REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics /V "Shell Icon Size" /D "48" /f
TASKKILL /IM explorer.exe
explorer.exe
