Here is the situation. I have some nice icons for various audio files that look a hell of a lot better than the stupid orange-striped traffic cone for VideoLan, which have 4 sizes associated with them when opening them in Greenfish Icon Editor. It used to be that in these particular views, the 16x16 icon would be displayed, which is what I want, as the the larger icons aren't so good when small, even though they are great when large. However, now the 32x32 icon is displayed, which I don't want. 
I think I know why this is happening - I recently set the Control Panel Display - Screen Resolution to 125%. (I would go back and reset it just to prove that I'm right, but I don't feel like going through a pair of reboots.) Short of updating each of the icon files so that the 16x16 icon is blown up by x 2 (which would be a bit of a pain in the a33), I can't figure how to do this. 
Thanks

You can get assistance with this by:
1. reading the pinned message at the top of the Lounge: "Posting rules for The Lounge [modified] Pin"
2. deleting this inappropriate question
3. reposting your question on one of the QA forums here with:
a. imore details about the context in which you have this problem: what type of Application ? WinForms ? Web ? WPF ? Android ?

This is not a programming question! There have been more prominent members of CP "abusing" the Lounge before without being chastisized. So get off of his back, will ya!

Well, Manfred, given the often satirical/mocking responses to questions like this on the Lounge, I thought I was doing the OP a favor by suggesting they repost on QA.
But, if I did a dis-service to the OP, I apologize.
And, yes, of course you are right about the fact that some folks can post certain types of content on the Lounge and get serious responses/discussions, whereas others posting the same types of content can get dumped on.
I am not sure if it's a sign of wisdom or just a fungus-of-blase-indifference to the inherent injustice of social groups [1] growing on my aging soul that this doesn't bother me 
cheers, Bill

Moreno, a fascinating character who was both dramaturge, technical inventor, artist, poet, social scientist. Moreno believed that human social groups were innately "unjust" in that the perceived authority to regulate and shape interaction ... bottom-line: who gets paid attention to ... tended to become concentrated in a few individuals or dyads.

I wouldn't mind reposting somewhere else, but I don't see a forum for general "how to use a computer" questions.

Well, that one helps prove their point.

I must be missing something very basic here, but I fail to find any info on how many articles there are.

I believe the correct answer is "many".

It is indeed a correct answer, especially if you're a walpiri or a piraha.

Upvoted for mentioning the Waripiri and Piraha ! The innate-language-engine vs. culturally-shaped debate between Chomsky/Pinkert and Everett is fascinating to me, as well as involving a question that haunts me (as a poet and creative writer): can there be thought without language ?: [^].

That would depend on your definitions.
Let's break the question apart: Can there be thought without (abstract) concepts?
And how about memory?
Most people have their first memories from about the age of three which also happens to be when we develop a useful language.
I've read once that Helen Kellers first memories is from when she learned a language at the age of six-seven. It's pretty hard to check any facts about that though. A lot of her life/memoirs seems to be "sanitized".
But then there's this school for deaf children in Nicaragua, which started off as a "storage facility", where the children themselves invented a sign language without any intervention from the caretakers. When linguistic researchers found out about that they got so excited they figuratively pissed their collective pants.
I've read that none of the children have any memories from before learning a language. confirmation needed
Interesting? Yes indeed.
