This is for example the case in the w32 file manager called Explorer (or Windows Explorer). - On the desktop a larger icon is used (32x32 or 48x48 I believe, maybe other size can be used too?). - When switching between applications a larger icon is used. - In the start menu you can choose. In the part showing active applications I think small icons are used. - If file open/save dialog the small icons are normally used. I believe the most common larger icon format is 32x32 but it might be bigger on XP, don't know.
