How to Change the Icon Size and Display Settings in Windows 7

By default, the size of the text and the icons are set to small (100%). That is alright for a regular monitor. If you

are using a wide screen monitor, the 100% setting may be too small for you. Here’s how you can easily

configure them to a bigger size.

1- Go to “Control Panel” (Start -> Control Panel)

2- Select “Appearance and personalization”. Click on “Display”.

3- In the next window, three options will appear. Note that the third option will only appear if your monitor

supports the resolution 1200 x 900

4- You

can choose any of the following.

Smaller – 100%: This is the default option.

Medium – 125%: This size sets the text and the other item to 125% of the normal size.

Larger – 150%: This size sets the text and other items to 150% of the normal size.

5- Choose “Medium” and click on “Apply”.

Immediately you will get a message asking you to log off your computer.

6- Click on “Log off now”.

7- You should be able to see the changes the next time you login.
