  There are two ways to adjust the size of your icons.

  1. a click right a box empty office, move the cursor to view, then select medium or small icons here.

  2 move the cursor to an existing desktop icon (to call the trash), left click once to highlight and then use your keyboard scrolling feature to manually adjust the size.

• Lack of the "Change desktop icons" option in my control panel

  Im trying to restore the icons of 'Trash' and 'My computer' original on my desk.

  Ive played a lot with these before settings on other computers, all of which is running Windows XP or earlier. I can't find the appropriate options in the Control Panel on my vista computer. Many forums indicate the "Change desktop icons" option should be "Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization", but the link does not exist in my control panel.

  Is there a way I can make this option appear?

  Hello

  In the control/customization panel (or right-click on the desktop and choosing Properties), the ability to change the desktop icons under tasks in the left column, will not be like a link in the Center. You declare that this line does not exist? Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org

• where I find how to change the icon size and text ahead of settings (box i.e.message)

  Try to change the size of fonts and text in the TEXT WINDOW WINDOW INACTIVE, ACTIVE WINDOW, AND BOX of MESSAGE.  How in this screen?

  Wilma Griffin

  Change the size of icons:
  Right-click the desktop, point to view, and then click large icons, icons or small icons.

  Tips
  You can also use the scroll of your mouse wheel to resize the desktop icons. On the desktop, press on and hold down the Ctrl key while you highlight the wheel to make icons larger or smaller.

  Change text size:

  You can make text and other items, such as the icons on your screen easier to see by making them bigger. You can do without changing the resolution of the screen of your monitor or your laptop. This allows you to increase or decrease the size of text and other items on your screen while keeping your monitor or laptop set to its optimal resolution.

  Right click on desktop, and then click screen resolution

  Choose one of the following:

  More small - 100% (default value). This prevents the text and other elements to normal size.

  Average - 125%. This sets text and other items to 125% of normal size.

  Expansion - 150%. This sets text and other items to 150% of normal size. This option appears only if your monitor supports a resolution of at least 1200 x 900 pixels.

  Click on apply.

  To see the change, close all your programs and then log off from Windows. This change will take effect the next time that you open a session.

  You can also display text more or less by changing your screen resolution, but if you use an LCD monitor or laptop, we recommend that you set your screen to its native resolution to avoid a blurred text. It is the optimal resolution an LCD monitor or laptop was designed to display based on its size.

  Active and inactive windows:

  Click Start, type: Windows color and appearance
  Press enter on your keyboard

  In the item list, click the part of Windows that you want to change the font for. For example, if you want to change the font of the menu, click on Menu in the list. Then, make the following changes:

  In the font list, click the font you want to use.

  In the size list, click the desired font size.

  In the color list, click the desired font color.

  Repeat these steps for each item that you want to change, click OK, and then click OK again.

• How to change the icons size in the Navigation bar

• the desktop icon sizes

  My grandfathers computer has a strange problem and I don't know how to fix it. He prefers the sizes of icons to be great, so we can do a right-click on the desktop and set the size to large and all goes well until we're going to restart the computer. Sometimes, when windows starts icons are always great, and sometimes they will be back to normal, but when we right-click to to the great, the great option is already checked, then click normal, and then made a right click and select the large icons again. It's not a huge deal, but I would like to be able to solve this one if possible. Any ideas?

  Happen you to all users on your computer or just for your account  If only you, your user profile is maybe damaged. To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.

  If it's all the user accounts, then validate return because the answer is not obvious, and we will have to do some research.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• The desktop icons to change the order after reboot

  Original title: the icons on the desktop in the Land of window 8

  Hello my friends. Before entering my question, I would like to thank all those who more graciously helped me with the many difficulties that I had with my old Dell XPS 8100 Studio, running Windows 7, Service Pack One, who went from the realms of the puffy clouds, halos, and * cherubs Flyin 'around pluckin' at the age of harps. Unfortunately he succumbed to Cyber Devils and digital demons that has infected. Even after the Pixel priest to perform an Electrosisim filled with the anointing of the Holy soldering, the pose of the figures on Ctrl-Alt-Delete, an attempt to restore to an earlier time, the computer was found dead of CPU. So at 2:35 on July-11-2013 with a tear to the eye and a hand shaking, I pulled the plug on my old Dell XPS Studio 8100 paper weight for 3 years and he passed quietly in the mist of the net and internet wholesale in the cloud. :)) So now I have a new ASUS computer and it runs Windows 8, and a few things are not as they were in Windows 7 like the arrangement of the icons on the desktop. Now, in Windows 7, I could resize, change the image and place the icons where I wanted to, and as long as I box unchecked her "snap to grid" in the settings under view they would remain locked in their assigned positions. Good, assuming that the parameters for the icons were the same as they were in Windows 7 in Windows 8, I went to the subject to carefully arrange my icons. When I had finished my task, I went in the view and the box unchecked that pesky 'snap to grid' and everything seemed fine until I had the need to restart the computer. After restart my office came on the screen and I couldn't believe my eyes, all of the icons that I had planned so carefully were in their original position they were before them, I changed? I went quickly into the display and don't you know that the "Snap to grid" box was checked. I tested this confusing situation several times, and any time the results were the same? Now, once more I seeks the advice and wisdom of you Wizards of Windows and Microsoft Magi digital defenders of the net in the hope that you might have a solution to my situation. Sincerely yours, Esq. Tiffany Amber Snow "Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope"

• How can I remove the homegroup to my desktop icon?

  How can I remove the homegroup icon that suddenly appeared on my desktop Windows 8

  I know and respect the fact that Sharief K is a Microsoft Support Engineer. but he doesn't know what he's talking about as a Microsoft Support engineer or he didn't understand the question.

  However, here's how to solve the problem in the right way...

  Question about this community newsletter is:

  (Windows 8) How can I remove the 'host group icon"from the desktop?

  Answer:

  1 right-click somewhere on the desktop that is free of icon/s with the left button of the mouse.
  Select "Customize" in the context menu, which will take you to the selection of window customize.

  2. Select "Change desktop icons" in the area of the hand at the top left of this window.  A "Change desktop icons" dialog (context menu) is displayed.

  3. Note the box on the left of the 'network' is checked.  Uncheck the box and then left click of the mouse will apply.

  4. at this point, the 'host group icon"will be removed from the desktop.  Now again check the box to the left of the 'Network' and then the mouse left click apply.

  And your all set.  That is of course until what you restart your computer, in which case this problem will happen again.  Gives one does not want to restart its system ever if you have Windows 8.

  On a more personal note, I am A +, Network +, MCP and a Bachelor's degree in electronic engineering technology and experienced Microsoft since 1992 when I always still served in the U.S. Army.  Sorry, but I am appalled and disgusted with the OS of Windows 8 not to mention Microsoft Office.
