I don't think it's possible.

w2k will show 32bit icons fine.. it would take some reg work to make it show any sizes other than standard though. you just have to find the icons you'd like, and make sure you've got the usual icon settings in the sytem maxed out.

migellito is mistaken, win2k will not show icons with anti-aliasing. AFAIK, the only way is to use DesktopX.

otherwise you will have to edit the icons and use fake transparency. will of course only look nice with plain backgrounds.
