• How to get a desktop icon to open enlarged using IE8?

  OK, I'm back with the eternal question. How can I get an icon of Web site that is saved on my desktop to open in a maximized State? I'm using IE8 and Vista 64-bit. Internet Explorer window opens now enlarged very well, but all of the icons that I save on my desktop have no function enlarge when I right click the icon. All previous efforts such as you drag the image up, then close it while holding down the control key didn't work. I installed a third-party program, "Autosizer", which works fine until the last round of Windows updates. Now it has compatibility problems, so I had to uninstall this program. Microsoft has a fix yet? Help, please.

  Charita142,

  This procedure works perfectly for almost any version of Windows, including Windows 7. I just bought a computer with Windows 7 and had the same problem, but I set myself for this procedure. Here it is again. This should do it for you as long as long as you follow the steps correctly. Now all Windows IE to open come expanded no matter what I use to open them. I use the right-click of the links opening in a new window all the time and now they are all open. It is true of all the desktop icons that I do for Web pages as well as for all the shortcuts located in the taskbar. Everything works fine now. The funny part is that the solution to this problem is exactly the same as it was for XP or Vista. I think we just were we not followed the steps correctly, but in any case, here is the solution:

  Open a Web page. Soft at full size. Do not use to maximize.
  Choose any link on this Web page and right click > open in a new window.
  Stretch this second window to the size desired-do not use maximize.
  Close the first window of IE. Then close this second resized window.

  This is exactly as it was in previous versions of Windows. It worked perfectly for me. Good luck with it.

• HP 15 Notebook PC TS: How to resize my desktop icons?

  My desktop icons were the size that I liked.  Now, they are not.  No, I was not delivered to zero no matter what!  I really HATE the software that changes things without my permission.  How to restore to the size they were and their previous arrangement?  The indignant police them has not changed.  It's so much easier to set up things before Microsoft felt the need to make everything 'simpler', deciding for you what you should you want to.  Thank you.

  CatladyDane

  What works for me is now pressed the Ctlr key and scrolling the mouse wheel.  Scroll to go the larger icons, the other way, smaller.

  Good luck

• How to enlarge my desktop to my laptop screen size

  A few days ago, my office and all the pages somehow became smaller than my computer tower screen.  When I'm working on a document page has about a margin of inch on the left and right sides. The same is true when the office is in use.  It was not always thus.  There is no problem with the functionality of the computer, I just need to enlarge pages and albums to the size of the desktop screen.

  Does anyone know how to enlarge the Bureau for the size of the computer tower screen?

  I'm not & visually impaired.

  There is a ringing sound when I click on the desktop icons and nothing happens. How can I get the "unlocked" I don't know how it happened.

  I have to ask - you've restarted?

  Also - have you tried under a different name?

  What about another mouse?

  And finally - if you have a USB keyboard - unplug unit after getting connected and try it then (perhaps a stuck key).

• How to lock the desktop icons in a multiple monitor configuration

  Original title: lock the desktop icons - and display

  Working with Windows 7 Home Premium has a problem processing 2 pieces: no matter how many times I said I want the display screen appears on the monitor, the screen of the computer, every day he arbitrarily returns to the computer screen only. That creates the 2nd problem: the desktop icons that I have arranged for the largest monitor rearrange themselves to adapt to the computer screen. Is there a way I can lock the icons in this position that I used to be able to do? Or is it possible that I can keep the display to go back to the computer screen? (I'm careful to apply the instructions to display before the specified seconds elapse).

   

  Hello

  I suggest you to go through the steps mentioned in the link and the Coachman.

  On a system running Microsoft Windows 7, the desktop icons can be moved to positions at random during another monitor main screen.
