How to change the size of the active desktop to normal after changing the size of the icons

original title: active desktop size

I changed the size of my icons, and now I can't use the office as a whole.

I can't put icons on the third right and lower third of the screen.
What can I do to fix this?
Thanks, BeckySH

Hello

Because you say that what you've done, but not how you did, my suggestions are limited to...

  • Cancel any changes that do
  • If you remember what was the modified parameters: do a system restore to a point in time before things went wrong. Start - All Programs-Accessories-tools system restore. Choose an appropriate date and time and set the course of restoration. Be patient, it may take several minutes.

    Hi leross,.

    I don't know what app you ask on the sound settings for your Apple Watch.  But, in general, you choose your Apple Watch as a source for your music.  Once you pair your Apple Watch with a bluetooth headset, you will be able to adjust the volume.

    You can also enjoy the music on your Apple Watch without your iPhone when you pair with a Bluetooth headset. Open the music application, scroll up, then on your Apple Watch to choose it as a source. Then scroll down and tap one of these options:

    • Playback in progress. Play / pause what is currently playing on your Apple Watch.
    • My music. After a sync a playlist to your Apple Watch, you can browse your music by Albums, artists and songs.

  • How to make the icons of programs appears on the screen of windows 8

    Hi Thunderlight, you helped me with my last request and thank you again now I have another question that you might be able to help me with.  How to make the icons of programs appears on my screen of windows 8?  I had to download the debut8 when I had windows 8 so I would have the appearance of windows 7 until I have to use Windows 8.  And some of my icons of windows 7 on my windows 8, but not all.  How to go on my windows screen 8 tiles?   I now get more usage of windows 8 and use it more now so would like all my original programs that I had with windows 7 on my windows 8 as it is now tile.  I thank you and hope you can help.

    Hi Laura,

    In theory, when you switch from an earlier version of Windows to Windows 8 - as your installed applications are kept by the upgrade process, except those who are not compatible - you should find all your apps in Windows 8.

    If they all do not appear on your start screen follow these steps to pin them there:

    • [Win] + C
    • Search
    • Click anywhere in the top middle of the screen to hide the charm bar

    All installed applications are displayed. They do not necessarily correspond on a single screen to use the horizontal "lift" to bottom of the screen to move to the right / left

    • Right-click on an application, you want to pin to the start screen
    • Click on Pin to Start at the bottom left of the screen

    You are finished. A mosaic of this application is available on the start screen.

    If there is an application, you are sure is installed on your PC and you don't think through the steps made me know - there will be more complex...

    If you install a new application under Windows 8 the corresponding tile is automatically added to your start screen.

    Hope this helps

    See you soon

  • How to get the icons to display correctly in the Finder?

    At the time of the "classic" Mac OS, if the icons are not correctly display in the Finder, we could 'rebuild the desktop file' to correct the problem. I've recently updated to Yosemite, and most things work well, but for some reason, most of the files in the Finder .webloc now show as blank icons (but not all; a few show the correct icon). There is no model, I can see: some very old .webloc files now show a white icon (where I know that their icons used to be correct), while the most recent show the icon of correct - although I just created four (by dragging the URL of the Safari, the usual method) which are all empty. Sometimes they appear with the older icon, with the symbol @ (although those who seem to have changed vacuum after running and restart maintenance). I tried from an external disk, repair permissions and repair the file system, as well as cleaning with the utility of Maintenance (which clears the web browser and other caches), nothing works. Does anyone know how to get the computer to display these icons correctly?

    May be a corrupt .plist.

    Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

    Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder.  Select the library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.desktop.plist.  Move the .plists on your desktop.

    Relaunch the Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works fine, delete the plists from the desktop.

    If the same, return the .plists to where you obtained since, by crushing the latest.

  • How to make the icon of power available to limited users

    I use a laptop computer that I just upgraded from Vista to XP. I installed XP from scratch and I noticed that the switch for power profiles that doubles as a indicator on if I use electricity or battery disappears when the laptop is plugged.
    This only occurs with a limited account. the two admin accounts have no problem with the icon. I can't change the option "always show the power indicator" in the control panel of a limited account because it is grayed out.

    Is it possible to give this back to everyone in the local group users so that everyone sitting at the console can see it?

    http://www.Flickr.com/photos/10736018@N05/sets/72157626814371364/

    In short, how can I do so that the options in question are not greyed out, while maintaining the principle of least privilege?
    I don't want to cut too many security restrictions, even for my own account, but I don't want to give access to things I need.

    If I need to look for some sort of additional drivers to install from the manufacturer's website, please tell me what to look for (BIOS, chipset, ACPI). I installed only the drivers for things that had a yellow question mark in Device Manager. If there is no yellow question mark, I assumed that the drivers built into Windows XP SP3 were adequate and did not bother to download. They were on the site for a reason, however. Until I have a problem, I have seen no reason to bother.

    Here's a better, more permanent solution:
