believe it or not their is an easier way where you don't need to download anything... I did this the other day... wanted to see what would happen... click on your desktop with right button... click the apperence tab, then the button marked advanced... in the bottom left hand corner the button marked other advanced controls... and out of the pull down menu where you would change the color and size of everything... select the word icon... and the size will be 48, you can make as big as you want up to 72, ir you make it anything other that 16, 32, 48, or 72 the icons will look somewhat blurry though... so be carefull and have fun...
