  Also right click on desktop - view - is set to medium or classic

  and other opportunities:

  Right click on desktop - customize - display settings - Set resolution.

  Right click on desktop - customize - display settings - top left adjust font size (DPI)

  CTRL + mouse wheel works ZOOM

  CTRL + and CTRL - work ZOOM in and out

  Your mouse/touchpad probably incorporates a ZOOM to it.

  Your system also has a magnifier built in which could be a problem - it can also often be programmed to work
  on mouse/keyboards.

  To see if your mouse/touchpad is set to ZOOM or enlarge use Control Panel - mouse.

  Keyboard/TouchPad/mouse probably also has Hotkey controls to verify with the help of machine to online system
  documentation and their forums, where appropriate.

  I hope this helps.

• Show hidden/missing of the desktop icons

  original title: hide the desktop icons

  Hide the icons on desktop on Windows 7 seems a fairly common theme in these forums, but I still have to find a solution that works. The standard response is to right click on the desktop, click view, and then remove the checkmark "show desktop icons". To do this I have to go through the process, not once but twice. After signing and signature later back on I have to repeat this procedure. Tutorial Windows gives the impression that removing the "Show desktop icons" check will keep these icons are displayed until you handed the check mark. This isn't the case for me. Miss me how crucial link in this puzzle?

  Thank you very much.

  No matter how many new accounts are created, one of them must be considered with the administrator account and corruption is obviously attached to her.

  Incorrect answer.  You can have hundreds + administrator accounts.  There are still only * one * original built-in Administrator account.  If every account you create ends with this issue, then something is corrupt overall.  If the problem is only for a user account once you make them an administrator - I'd guess malware infestation can only be solved in the long term by a format and a new installation of the system and all of the affected software.

  When you create a new account - copy less.  Ignore the suggestion to Microsoft article.

  What you want to copy is: Desktop, Favorites and Documents on the Start Menu.  Leave everything else at the moment.

  Let me be as accurate as possible...

  If your old account user was named "GoodbyeDolly" and your new account is "HelloDolly", you will copy the following (after creating and logging into the new "HelloDolly" administrator-level account).

  Copy everything under:
  C:\Users\GoodbyeDolly\Favorites
  TO
  C:\Users\HelloDolly\Favorites

  Copy everything under:
  C:\Users\GoodbyeDolly\Desktop
  TO
  C:\Users\HelloDolly\Desktop

  Copy everything under:
  C:\Users\GoodbyeDolly\Documents
  TO
  C:\Users\HelloDolly\Documents

  Copy everything under:
  C:\Users\GoodbyeDolly\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
  TO
  C:\Users\HelloDolly\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu

  Nothing else at this time.  NOTHING.  Not a single file.  Not a single setting.  Do nothing else for the new account in terms of trying to get stuff from the old account.

  You * will * need to configure your homepage (s) Internet.  You should know where your previously saved word, excel, and other office documents.  You must assign the account 'HelloDolly' his own password.  There may be dozens of other customizations that can be (will be) different for each user of a computer that you * will * have to do.  Wallpaper, computer sounds when you do certain things, the disposal of the office icons themselves, the order of the start menu, which is visible on the taskbar and how and when, etc.

  If your question is not more with this method - come back and let us know.

• How can I change the color of the title/name under the desktop icons?

  name under the icons on the desktop?  help please!

  How can I change the color of the name/title under the desktop icons, I know how to rename then, but his hard tosee the front they are white outline...

  Hi, Judy,.

  You can change the text size

  Control Panel > type the color scheme

  Select Customize

  Select display (left index finger)

  Under change only the size of text, select icon

  You can also check the option for "BOLD"

  Do not forget to click on apply when finished

  Because desktop wallpaper images have different colors, it is easy for the colors of unreadable fonts if they are on top of the same color in a background image to display. For example, a black font on top a dark part of the background image or a white font on a white part of a background image.

  The desktop icon fonts are dynamic and show white on dark background and change in white with a shadow effect black on a light background.

• Pavilion p7: the desktop icons disappeared

  When I started my pc this morning I founf that all my desktop icons disappeared

  Hmm, that's strange. I wonder if you might have accidentally switched to Tablet mode, where the desktop icons would not display. See switch between Mode desktop and Tablet (Windows 10).

  If this does not work, try to install the Windows updates and reboot your computer. I would also like to run a virus scan. Good luck!

  That means the small arrow on the desktop icons?

  It designates the actual icon ' points to ' (or is a shortcut to) the actual file. You can create a shortcut to a file or a folder by right click, then click on "create shortcut". If you delete the shortcut, the original file is not removed.

  This border on the desktop icons can be created when the elements of the Office was locked, to unlock the desktop items web right click on an empty area of your desktop. Now, select arrange icons by and uncheck "Web Lock Desktop items" if she has a little check mark next to it. If you did not have a tick here and then right click on your my computer icon and view its properties, now click on the Advanced tab click the button settings running. Now on the Visual Effects tab scroll effects to 'use the shadows of the desktop icon labels' and put a tick in the box next to it, and then click ok. This should remove the border from the shadow of your desktop icons.

  Just like that.
