• All the desktop icons change set to an incompatible program.

  The desktop icons all try to open with the same program, so for most fail. Restart doen't fix it. Restore to a previous point failed to 3 different restore times. Open programs from the Start button, but the link to transfer on the table, they come back to the same type of icon.

• How to reduce the size of the desktop icons

  original title: just changed my computer, but using my old monitor (AOC TV L22W851B) and the desktop icons are huge...

  .. .also have to use a resolution of 1024 x 768 instead of one which is much higher because it's the only native resolution. Any ideas?

  System details:

  64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium

  Acer Aspire X 3990

  3.4GHZ PROCESS Interl Core i7 2600

  Intel GMA HD up to 1696 MB

  If the link in my last post, you select your system then the driver tab then Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 , then scroll down to the bottom you will see drivers VGA (1 x AMD, 1 x Intel & 2 x nVidia). The Intel is one that applies to 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.

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If the above does not fix it:

  Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your laptop computer-graphics/computer card > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

  Then:

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

  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.

• 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.

  Hello

  1 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  2 have you installed a software associated with office themes?

  Method 1:

  Themes control the appearance. With themes, you can change the appearance of the desktop and the appearance of the icons.

  We will try different themes and check the status of the issue.

  To change the theme, check out the site mentioned below:

  Change the theme to improve performance

  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Change-the-theme-to-improve-performance.

   

  Method 2: Safe Mode

  See the following site:

  Start your computer in safe mode

  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode.

   

  Method 3: Turn off the antivirus

  See the following site:

  Disable the anti-virus software

  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Disable-antivirus-software.

  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

• 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.

  Hi Jacob,

  Welcome to the community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question.

  From the description, it looks like you changed the default binding for all files in Word format. Am I wrong?

  Follow the instructions in the link to change the file association for files.

  When you run an .exe on a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer file, the file can start another program

  During the withdrawal of your account, you will receive an option to backup your data before removal. Take this option.

• How can desktop icon font color - I change the font color of the text that describes the desktop icons?

  I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. How can I change the color of the font describing the desktop icons?

  I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. How can I change the color of the font describing the desktop icons?

  Hello

  You cannot change the font color of desktop.

  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.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you for using Windows 7
