laptop mouse pad changes size of the icon on the desktop?

When using my laptop mouse pad, the desktop icons is is expanded.  I want to make it even smaller, but the options of the control panel do not work to do this.  How to smaller again, and why are they larger when I touched the mouse pad?

On a desktop PC, hold down the CTRL key and turning the mouse wheel will make the icons larger or smaller. Maybe you did the cell phone equivalent to that. Maybe even a sticky control key.

  • How can I activate the scroll function on my laptop mouse pad?

    Hello

    My laptop mouse pad is no longer scroll in FireFox or MS Word (or any other program I've tried) since switching from Vista to Windows 7. In the Windows Help section, it suggests that there should be a tab "Scrolling" in the mouse properties window, however, when I opened the window just 4 tabs are "Buttons," "Pointers," "Pointer Options" and "hardware". How can I switch on / activate the scrolling feature?

    Thank you

  • How to disable HP laptop mouse pad in Windows 8?

    Original title: Windows 8 mouse pads

    Windows 8 don't let me stop the mousepad on my laptop HP G Series as done in windows 7.  It's a pain, I use an optical mouse... I keep hitting the pavement by accident.

    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for choosing Windows 8 and welcome to the Community Forums of Microsoft.

    I see that you want to disable the mouse pad.

    Let us work together to solve this problem.

    We wish to inform you that Windows has never had any device which allowed to turn off the mouse pad. This feature is sometimes provided by the manufacturers of mouse pad.

    Most laptops have an external switch or button, which when activated, disable the mouse pad. You can try if it works.

    You can also toggle the control panel mouse pad.

    Follow the steps below to do so:

    a. press the Windows key + X, and then select Control Panel.

    b. Select the mouse properties.

    c. right-click on the mouse to turn on/off pad.

    The mouse pad can also be disabled via Device Manager.

    a. press the Windows key + X, and then select Device Manager.

    b. expand mice and other pointing devices.

    c. right-click and disable the Scripture that says mouse mat or even.

    For additional assistance, please contact HP Support teams.

  • How can I increase the size of the text in applications without changing the size of the desktop icons?

    I have my desktop icons attached to the size I want, but when I open applications as e-mail text is tiny.  How can I change the size of the text by default without changing the size of the icons?

    Hold down the ctrl key and the mouse wheel. This should change the font size in some applications. Some applications also have their own settings of police out of their menus in things like or etc (for example). This will vary by app.

    For WLMail it appears this and this should offer some control on WLMail fonts used, but only the 2nd seems to work OK. This application there is a bug? and certainly it does not work for me.

  • Size of the desktop icon changes to large suite reboot - Windows 7

    Hi all

    I'm having this problem for a few months. The size of the icons on the desktop may be set to small. I had a setting in CUSTOMIZE > SHOW for children, but it not reduced the size of the icon on the desktop. Also, if I change the size of the icon on the desktop by ctrl + mouse wheel it comes down to grand after reboot.
    Please help me solve this annoying problem. I tried to install the latest drivers as well but still the problem persists.
    Thank you

  • How can I change the size of the desktop icons

    PC HP TouchSmart 520

    Windows 7 64 bit

    I can't change the size of the icons by right-clicking on the desktop.  There is no 'view' to change.  I have four items that appear; Graffiti, background, settings and Office Windows that changes the appearance of the office and did not have the carousel.

    It sounds like what you have on your screen is HP Magic Canvas and not Windows Desktop.

    Then, right click and select "Desktop Windows" to return to the real desktop. Then, if you want you can right click again and resize stuff.

  • Default profile of MEU - size of the desktop icon

    We try to stay away from a standard domain profile and allow the EMU to change the environment by using the standard profile by default on Windows 7. So far, I was able to capture things like the taskbar, Windows Explorer, some IE and the start menu. However, I can't enter the size of the icon on the desktop where medium to small. Someone been able to achieve this? I have looked everywhere for the registry key, but a google search only led me to keys that must have with previous editions of windows. Any help on this would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    VMware User Environment Manager provides a lot of build - in templates to capture all these parameters.

    I think that the model "DPI settings" will enter the size of the icons, just give it a try.

    To add this template, start the VMware EMU management console.

    Click "create a Config file" choose 'Common Windows setting' and select the model "DPI settings.

    I would like to know if it works.

    PIM.

  • pavillion g6 laptop mouse pad

    Hello

    My son has had a brand new, one for Christmas and all was going well until he started today and the mouse pad is totally insensitive. Can anyone help?

    @lisabling,

    Try the following.

    Shut down the laptop. Tap here to f8 start you toward the top access to the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select "Safe Mode with network" and press ENTER.  Let windows fully load in this mode and see if the Touchpad works in this mode.

    If this is the case, download the latest installer Synaptics driver on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp54001-54500/sp54040.exe

    Then, open windows control panel, open programs and features, right click on the entry "Synaptics Pointing Device Driver" and choose uninstall.

    Once done, restart the computer and Windows restarts normally - check the Touchpad still works.

    If this is the case, open your downloads folder, right-click on the setup of Synaptics and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once done, restart the laptop.

    Kind regards

  • How can I create a shortcut to "change user" on the desktop using rundll32.exe in Vista Home Premium?

    I am trying to create the shortcut to "change user" using rundll32.exewithout to create the shortcut to "lock", only to pass the user. I already know that I have to right click on an empty space on the desktop, press New\Shortcut and type%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,but not after the comma. Type so I can only create the shortcut to "change user" and not the shortcut to 'lock '? (This means that I don't want this: %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation, with LockWorkStation after him.)

    Unfortunately, it can be done in your version of Vista (or so they say, hang on a moment.)  I found the article according to that cllaims to do in Vista Basic and Vista Home Premium in addint a file and shows a set of procedures.  As it is a 3rd party file, do so at your own risk. http://www.vistarevisited.com/2008/08/02/create-a-desktop-shortcut-to-switch-users-in-vista/.  NOTE: This is not how you suggested higher, but if it works who cares?

    In case you don't want to consider the solution above, you have refused, here is the procedure (how to do it in other versions of Vista):http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/136969-switch-user-desktop-shortcut.html.

    I hope this helps.

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

    See you soon.
