My WinSxS occupies 25GB! How can I make it smaller?

I delete the files from my laptop which is running Vista. I have erased all of the usual culprits and then could not understand where all the space was used. I ran Diskdetective and found out it was windows itself! My windows folder contains 25 GB to 50GB partition. The main culprit is the WinSxS folder, how to reduce this folder as CCleaner or other programs, do not touch it.

Please see: what is the WinSxS directory... and why is it so big?

Personally, I'd leave only WinSxS.

    my desktop icons are larger than normal, how can I make the smaller

    Right click on the desktop and click on views and there should be three options for selecting the size of the icons.  If they are too big, choose one of the smaller options and see if it suits you better.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • How can I make the smaller page content that I can see all this?

    Hello
    Have you tried the Firefox zoom feature? This initiative will increase the size of the web pages.

    • To make things bigger, press Ctrl and + at the same time.
    • To make things smaller, press Ctrl and - at the same time.
    • Pour reinitialiser to reset the size of return to normal, press Ctrl and 0 at the same time.

    You can also use the NoSquint. Add on to change the zoom level by default for all websites at the same time. After setting your overall zoom level, you can still adjust the zoom on different sites.

    With the help of NoSquint:

    1. After installation of NoSquint, make sure you have the add-on bar displayed:

      • Click the new tab button ("+") or a box empty bar tab to the right of the item and choose the module bar on the shortcut menu.
    2. Click on the % in the bar of the add-on call site preferences, then click the global settings button, then the zoom tab.
      • You can experiment with sizes greater than 125%, but it is not recommended that you will more than 150%, unless you have a large screen high resolution.

    If there are sites that are still a concern, feel free to post their URLs.

    Please let us know if this helped you!

    Thank you.

  • j6450 scan to email with mac 10.7.2. Too big to send e-mail. How can I make it smaller?

    In addition, scan shows each page in the annex.  How can I put all ten pages in one attachment.  Printer scanned just fine on my old PC.

    Sorry, you still have problems with this software.

    Your comment "I scanned for Outlook email it." confused me because it is not a direct link between the HP scanning and the prospects that it would facilitate.  Maybe I made a mistaken assumption that you use the HP Scan 3 software that comes from HP for use on Lion.  Please ensure that you have downloaded and installed the latest version of the Lion-compatible with HP software for your product.

    I'm not sure what you consider "too big", but I would be very surprised that 75 dpi scans would produce files that you, or Outlook, would consider excessive (seems to me that the software ignored the 75 dpi setting).  The fact that you checked the option for several pages in a single file and always found with files PDF separated for each page is also suspect.  This looks more to me there is a gap between where you set these values and how you start scanning.

    For the version of HP Scan that I assume you are using, the scanning settings are made in the application Preferences dialog box (HP Scan > Preferences).  If you want to use the same settings for later analyses, make sure you save a preset so that you can easily select these settings the next time that you are analyzing.

    Your device is also compatible with the Apple's Image Capture scanning application.  Image capture also supports scanning multiple pages of a document feeder in a single PDF file.  You can try this alternative to see if the result is more favourable.

    Hello

    You can still use the ENTER key to OK, do not click OK with the mouse cursor.

    There are a few things you can try:

    Change the resolution of the screen;

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

    If that fixed it, go to the website of your computer manufacturer > drivers download Section > then key in your computer model number > find your operating system > find two graphics / video or from the Chipset drivers and download and install.

    Then try to change the screen resolution.

    Or do a system restore to before that happened.

  • How can I make my smaller screen size?

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ57 with Windows 7 and when I shoot things on the internet, about 75% of the page fits on my monitor because the graphics look so great.  When I go on Google, for example, the word that Google takes over most of the middle part of my screen and the box you type what you would Google contains more than what shows the lower part of my monitor.  I will try to find how to do all this small so everything fits on my screen.  I tried going to start, Control Panel, appearance and the resolution and then display and tried different things from here without success, but maybe I missed something or there is another way.  Please if anyone can help.

    Thank you

    Hold down the CTRL key and press + to increase the size of the page.

    Press and hold Ctrl and press 0 (zero) to return to the default size.

  • How can I make my smaller work without distorting anything or by moving paths?

    Whenever I'm trying to make it smaller move my ways and when I rasterize, it becomes illegible...Screenshot (43).png

    In the transform Panel Menu enable entry to the scale patterns and stroke. Then it will evolve everything proportionally.

    Why do you need to reduce its size? If it is placed in a layout like InDesign application, it can evolve there without loss.

  • The bookmarksdrop in the menu drop-down is too big, as it covers the greater part of my screen - how can I make it smaller.

    Whenever I select the menu drop down Favorites, it is so big that it covers the major part of my screen. Then, when I go to a folder in the drop-down menu, if I stop to any other folder, it opens and is so great that the menu drop-down or completely covered. This is VERY irritating and I never had this problem before moving on to Firefox 5.0. How do I don't cure it?

    It is probably because you have one or more bookmarks with a long title.

    The width of a column in the list of bookmarks is in the current versions of Firefox automatically adjusted the bookmark with the longest name.

    You can check the names of the bookmarks and the longer more short.
