Hi all,
I am using XP and would like to make only the desktop icons larger. Is
there a way that I can do that?
Thanks,
Alice

right click an empty spot on the
desktop/properties/appearance/advanced.......find Icon in the Item box and
adjust the Size on the right.....you might also need to adjust the spacing
if you make them too large

Or in the Settings tab, drop the resolution, if that works for you.

Fair comment. And in that case it would count as not working for her.

Hi all,
That's true! Dropping the resolution resulted in a terrible mess. But
thank you anyway for your answer. I did what Peter said and it worked fine.
Thank you for all your time,
Alice
