Larger Icons

If you're one of those people who have a difficult time seeing the default icons & descriptions on your Desktop, here's how to change it:

1. Right-click a blank area of your Desktop and select Properties from the resulting menu.

2. Click the Appearance tab and select Icon from the Item drop down box (should be the second drop down box).

3. You should now see a Font drop down box below the one you were just playing with. You can adjust the size from the Size drop down box next to it.

NOTES:

"Times New Roman" and "Arial" tend to be amoung the most "readable" fonts, so you may want to change the font to one of those.

Finally, note that you can also adjust the size of your desktop icons on that screen by using the top "Size" box. So, if you want 'em bigger, just arrow up. If you would prefer a smaller bunch of icons, click the down arrow.
