the taskbar icons too small

can I change the size of the icons in the taskbar without making them larger on the desktop (VISTA)?

Try these:
1. unlock the taskbar: right click on your taskbar and uncheck "Lock the taskbar" option
2. go to an empty space in your Quick Launch toolbar, right-click and view-> choose "large icons".
3 lock the taskbar: right click on your taskbar and select the option "lock the taskbar".

  • Vista icons too small

    My icons on the taskbar went very small so that you have to peer at them to see what they are - I'm sure that's not how they used to be! -Very small & no text...

    Can someone tell me how to fix this please?

    It's just my icons that were too small.

    However, after the foregoing advice I managed to get my PC to do a system restore to a date for a long time, while it's not exactly practical it has now solved the problem, although I have no idea what was causing the problem. The icons seem to be not bigger than see you on Win7, in any case problem solved now!

  • using the taskbar icon made a right-click menu options 'tasks' disappeared

    I'm on FF 34.0.5 running on Windows 7 Ultimate (V6.1 Build 7601, SP1). Since a few days the options of 'tasks' on the right, click on the menu of the taskbar icon disappeared. The rest is two (three times current running FF) lines: unpin and FF.
    I tried the solution proposed by https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/994990 without success. The browser.taskbar.lastgroupid keeps returning to this string "E7CF176E110C211B" as the set of users.
    I even uninstalled completely, including the folder in Program Files and my FF profile. None of the measures has helped.

    The highest browser.taskbar... has the same value after re-installation. The key containing this value is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mozilla\Firefox\TaskBarIDs, with two values "default = not defined" and "C:\\Program Files (x 86) \\Mozilla Firefox" = "E7CF176E110C211B."

    How can I return this feature?
    Thanks for the help

    solved!
    uninstall of FF and a cleaning the registry and program files/user data has helped.

  • After the 24 Firefox update, Windows 7 64-bit breaks on reboot. The network in the taskbar icon is not ready (blue circle stopped).

    After 24 of Firefox update, Windows 7 breaks after the reboot. The network in the taskbar icon is not ready (blue circle on the wireless network icon). But I can't do much. I can't open the network and sharing Center (never opened). Even the Task Manager hangs when I click to show processes from all users. I have to do a system restore for a network working again. I never even launched Firefox.

    Wow... I finally have the solution. Windows updates have been applied at the same time I updated Firefox. Bluetooth driver is what broke (which is part of the Centrino wireless). I ended up installing the latest driver from Intel, Windows Update, and then update Firefox... and all is well.

    I thank very you much for all your help. Take care.

  • I have a 22 inch monitor set to 150%, but since I installed Firefox, the font is too small and the screen is too small. Cannot enlarge font or screen. I can do control ++ whenever I have enter a page but don't want it as my solution.

    Control/display panel, I got my screen set at 150% and a resolution of 1680 X 1050. It filled my screen 22 inch with the content of the page. Now that I have installed Firefox, the police is too small and the content is centered in the screen leaving about3"each side of the space empty. I want to fill the screen and make things bigger. Have not found a way to do it. Firefox tells me in my window/display of the control panel that setting my display at 150%, ' some elements may not match your screen if you choose this setting if your screen is positioned on this resolution. " It worked fine with the Explorer.

  • When I play games on pogo or facebook window pop up to play the game is too small.

    Original title: popup screen too small__

    When I play facebook or pogo games windows is too small to access all the button to play the game.  It was ok earlier in the day, but now the screens are too small.  Is there a way to revert to the original?

    Hello
     
     
    1. what the text on the Web page? Is it too small?
    2. is it a problem with these two games only? Have you tried to play another game on facebook?
    3. what Internet browser are you using to play these games?
     
     
    Method 1.
    You can try the following steps and check if the computer gets you the expected size of the screen.
    a. once the pop-up window click on it.
    b. hold down the button and use the mouse wheel to scroll and check if it changes size.

    Mike - Has microsoft to offer a 'solution' to this problem.  I have Club Pogo, everything goes well on the main screen, but the games are too small and I can't fix.

    drm0051,
    You need to check the link for the citation.  We need more information to try to help out you.  If this only happens with Pogo games then you need to contact Pogo support, because this may be a known issue that they have a patch\fix for.  One thing I can say, it is to check that your Java is updated to the latest version.

  • Restore complete PC - either does not start or before restoration, said "the disk is defined as active in the BIOS is too small to recover the original system drive."

    I am trying to restore an image backup Vista 64 is 428 GB, the drive under restoration is a Velociraptor 2x300GB RAID 0 (about 558 GB under Windows), and the drive on which the image originated was is labeled as a 750 GB drive (actually about 698 GB / 433 GB used). When I first made the attempt I got some message on the target drive, have to be cleaned by diskpart, so I did. After that, I was able to complete the restoration - but after the restoration, at startup, I get the message:

    "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected bootable media and press a key.

    And under Windows, the drive does not appear. Disk Management displays the disk as unallocated space. So I added a new Simple Volume and then tried the new restoration. But now I get the message:

    "The drive is set as enabled in the BIOS is too small to recover the original system drive."

    Even if the restore completed successfully after cleaning, the drive is empty, and the player has more than 100 GB more space than the size of the image. After the restoration after the own, why can't it detect the boot sector; and if I try to restore after formatting, why do we say that the disc is too small? How can I successfully restore?

  • Some of the taskbar icons are blank sheets

    Some programs such as Internet Explorer, MS Outlook 2007 and iTunes are on the taskbar as blank sheets. I tried to place shortcuts on the desktop and go into properties and change icon. It has worked for other programs but the button change icon in these programs are blackened. Tried to enter the path to the programs without success.

    Is there anyway to make the icons for the programs show?

    Thank you!

    I have this problem, had to do a hard reset because of the loss of output video/media center crash on restart my Firefox Firstclass & icons are now leaves white, very annoying. Delete iconcache.db fix does not work. I was able to restore the icon to exe files, but the icons pinned Taskbar & Start menu, items do not update.
    My dose is as follows:

    Step 1:
    click Start > right click on the program in the start menu > properties > Shortcut tab > change icon > Browse (go to exe for this program) > select exe file > open > choose appropriate options icon. > ok > ok > if you get a message saying that only an administrator can do this, click on continue to apply the change.

    Step 2: start a session application & while it is running to right click on the taskbar icon > detach this program > new right click (watch now icon because it represents the application running, not the shortcut) > pin this program

    I'm not a fan of the new taskbar of the mac either style, it open & navigate several sessions of programs is tedious, especially when the previews seem to almost identical & if different programs use the same icon he adds to the confusion. Y at - it an option of the 'Classic' taskbar somewhere like the classic view for Control Panel, that they used to offer?
