Resize desktop icons

I'm trying to figure out how to re-size the desktop icons with C#. I'm not finding much with my various searches. Has anyone done this before. I know the size is stored in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\Shell Icon Size registry value but changing this value doesn't seem to actually change the size of the desktop icons.

After setting that registry value, you need to flush the icon cache, thus:

::SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST,WM_SETTINGCHANGE,SPI_SETNONCLIENTMETRICS,NULL);
