How do I enlarge low res icons?

[TaliBong]

I like to use large icons and most programs have high res icons, but for those that don't is there a way to scale them? I don't care if they end up pixelated or blurry, I just want them all to be the same size. I don't want to make new icons or replace them, just scale old 48x48 icons to full size.

Thankz.

Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
See if this helps ico files will open in gimp where you can add more files to it,

I hope that's not the only way, windows can downscale icons but not upscale them? While it is annoying to have these tiny icons sat in big squares I just can't be bothered to redo them.

Hi,
You can always post the images here of what the icons are using a search engine and we can make new ones for you

That's still too much effort for someone as lazy as me. I was hoping someone might know of a simple reg hack to do something like tricking the thumbnail generator to work on icons.
