    Hi,
    Details view of folders and subfolders isn't really obsolete
    There are a lot of different sizes as I said and switching a folders size or windows explorer view will trigger changes.
    It's best to have complete ico files
    A lot of people also use ctrl+scroll wheel to adjust icon sizes quickly since small/ medium and large.. are usually not ideal.
    I meant 8px is obsolete.

    Hi,
    I know what you meant :)
    But if interested in seeing just how many files are in each ico file
    Use free gimp it will show each file as a layer

This is probably what bothers me most about Windows 7. Unlike Windows XP, the text on desktop icon looks "ugly" (on bright backgrounds). Is there a way of having the desktop icon text look exactly like Windows XP? http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/2874/smoother.jpg
