Hi Brazos,

In order to see the icon enlarge past the "Medium" size, they need to be a 256 bit .ico (Icon) file. Some older programs and icons in Vista meant for other display modes are not 256 bit. Most of the good icons in Vista are located here: "C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll" . Just open this file with the "Change Icon" button. See this for more details on how to change the icons.

Shortcut Folder or File Icon Change

Sorry Brazos,

It is 256x256 pixels, but 32 bit. You can read more on the icons here. It will show you how to make icons that are compatible with the larger sizes. You might be able to convert the ones you have to.

Your welcome Brazos,

I always found Axialis pretty easy to use and understand. Glad that it helped you out.

Thank you for the feedback,
