<div>
Icons can also be binded to exe's <br />
<br />
PRE WINDOWS XP uses 16x16 and 32x32 <br />
<br />
POST VISTA uses 64x64 and 128x128<br />
<br />
The icon folder by default usually selects the folder of which the shortcut you are trying to change the icon for is located.<br />
<br />
You can place the icons anywhere.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps

kpltechgroup. so, am I right in assuming, since I use Win 7 that If I choose small or large icons for the desktop that win uses either 64x64 or 128? If so then since I sometimes use both I should attempt to find icon sets that have both sizes?

I use Windows 7 64 bit. I want to obtain a few hundred icons so that I have more variety on my desktop. What is the description of an icon size wise? What by what? Are they ico files? Where would I store them so that when I right click an icon, then properties I can click change icon. I want it to take me to the folder that has my new selection of icons. Any suggestions?
