I want to have icons made from photo's as shortcuts on my desktop. I've converted the bmp file to .ico and this works but the icons are too small to see. I don't want to increase the screen resolution so tried to increase just the size of the icons. However all the ones I created myself were no longer displayed correctly. Is there any way round this?

Are you on View -> Small Icons? If so, try changing to View -> Large Icons.
Might also be worth having a look in Display Properties -> Effects -> Use Large Icons.

You can also make a selection from the original picture in which you capture the essence of the picture (eg: don't select unnecessary borders etc...)
