I have tried to research this, but any possible answer gets drowned out by all the listings for web pages telling you how to make ALL your desktop icons a different size. That's not at all the situation I'm dealing with.
Most of my desktop icons are the size I want them to be, but there are a few that are too small. Most of the icons in question are for shortcuts I created, but some are for links to executable files (none of the document files on the desktop are displaying smaller icons). Of course, I can assign which icon graphic the shortcuts use; the icons associated with the executable files seem to be assigned by the system. I can't even get the ones I assign to be larger. I have tried to pick a different icon graphic that I know is larger when viewed alone as an icon file. They still come out small when displayed by the shortcut.
I suppose this might be a two-fold problem: 1) getting the shortcuts to display a larger icon, and 2) getting the other desktop links to display larger icons. I would be greatly encouraged to solve the first problem.
Please, PLEASE don't tell me to go into the desktop "View" menu and pick "Large icons." l only want to increase the size of the few desktop icons that for some reason unknown to me are stubbornly refusing to be as big as all the others. They're real obvious, too. They have a thin line around their perimeter that screams at me, "Look at all this empty space within this box!"
