Why can default icons get larger when I choose to view folders in explorer larger ? What is the size of such an icon ? Problem is when I make my own icon, it doesn't show large like that even when my icon size is made at 150x150 Any here out there ?

I just downloaded and installed Windows Media Player Version 11 and see that all the icons for my media files no long have the MP overlay icon. I find this confusing and annoying. With a large screen flat panel 22 inch monitor set to 1680 x 1050 the icons for media files look like common system registered files. They are so small it is hard to tell what they are. It was so much easier when they had the round media player icon on them. Is this a problem resulting for a poor load or is this what they are supposed to look like under MP 11? Is there any way to have them appear as they have under all previous versions of MP?
I recently had to reinstall Windows XP Professional on my laptop. By default, the media player edition that comes with the system is the 9 series. I like the 10 series best, so upgrade to that (yes, I do not like 11 or 12). For some reason, when I updated this time around, the icons of all the files that use WMP for playback use the 9 series-based icon instead of the 10 series-based icon. Unlike with applications, where you can right-click the application's icon, go to properties, and then click on "Change Icon," for these files that make use of an application, no "change icon" button is available under properties. How do I change the icon associated with these files so that they use the 10 series-based icon instead of the 9 series one? Thanks many, Zakhary
I keep chaning my icon images, they stay a short time before they revert back to the standard Internet E in a white box. What is my problem, I have looked at every thing. By the way it is not happening with all Icons - just the ones I have placed on the desktop from My Favorites?? thx
You know how folder icons in Vista display a preview of the folders' contents? My User Folder inside C:/User, the topmost folder that contains folders such as Contacts, Desktop, Documents...etc, is displaying an image that is not in the folder. In fact, that image file shouldn't even exist in my computer as it is only the album art image of a mp3 file. I've done a search and took for hidden files, but couldn't find anything. I've also try messed with the settings in Properties/Customize, and tried to restore the icon to default but the image remains there. The only thing that makes the image disappear temperary is when I create an jpg file called folder.jpg and place it inside the User Folder, then folder.jpg gets displayed instead. But as soon as I delete folder.jpg, the original image appears again. Is there a hidden file or something that I'm not aware of? -- wookee88
5.Broken icon images after a repair of my Windows installation
Hi all, OK, I had an issue with my Vista installation after the latest batch of updates this week that resulted in my winload.exe file being corrupted. I had to repair my installation which I was able to do after a little bit of trouble and Windows now works again. But the repair of my Windows installation has had an unforeseen side effect. A lot of my desktop and Startup menu recently/most used programs icon images are now broken. They will only display the default icon image. I have opened up the Properties for these programs and the icon image link to the file is correct, it just won't display the icon for love or money. Funnily enough, the icon image is displayed correctly if I open up the program folder for each of the damaged images in the Startup menu, it's just the list of most-used programs when you initially open up the Start menu that is damaged. I have tried deleting these shortcuts and then creating new ones in the hope that this will get around the issue but that didn't work. So can anyone tell me how I can fix these icon image file associations so that they display correctly please? Many thanks.
