Change the size of individual icons?

Is it possible to change the size of individual icons such as the 'My Computer' icon?
I would like to have some icons a lot bigger than others but im not too sure how to go about this. Is there something I can edit in the registry or edit the actual size of the .ico file in order to achieve this?

Thanks

As far as I know you can't change individual ones, just the size of them
all...

Thanks,
Jon
