Press the control key on the keyboard and then use the scroll button on the mouse to change the size of the icons on the desktop to adjust the view that suits you in windows 7

  1. right mouse click on the desktop
  2. select properties
  3. click the settings tab
  4. after slide the resolution to 1024 x 768.
  5. If this is too small, then change it until you are satisfied with the screen resolution.

click advanced. Under general, you'll see DPI settings if they have changed, set them back to 96. If thats not the problem, go to appearance, advanced, then icons. Set the icon size to 32, and the font to 8. If not, increase the resolution by going to settings and moving the slider.

Please don't forget to rate... :-)

How to change size of the desktop icons

Right click on your desktop and select VIEW, there should be a few options (such as large, medium and classic). This is for Windows Vista, and I would imagine that Win7 is pretty much the same.

I had to re-install windows xp, and now there's no internet. I believe I might need to re-install the driver, because it doesn't seem to be recognizing the Zhone or the dsl connection. Is the driver...

yup you need to reinstall the drivers for your computer, most likely the drivers are removed after doing the re installation of windows, you can download the drivers for your windows on your OEM website original equipment manufacturer, check device manager in control panel,

go to control panel, click switch to classic view then click system in system click tab hardware click button device manager this is in XP

in vista win7 go to control panel in vista switch to classic view in win7 click drop down upper right of the icon select large or small icons, after switching to classic view select device manager on the list of icons if you see any question marks then you will need to reinstall all of those drivers missing ^_^

Problem regarding vista trnsformation pack

First thing i would like to share with you is :- Vista transformation pack is a collection of some Desktop Enhancement Tools.

So when you install the Transformation pack on your XP machine it will change your default themes/looks + On Boot screen you will see change + Some extra Gadgets on Desktop which will improve productivity / speed of your working. (Simply customisation of Shortcuts)

But dont forget that the underlying operating system is WINDOWS XP only and NOT VISTA.
It is just a change in the Appearance in windows Xp environment.

It feels / Look good but i will prefer to go for following download i feel it will more worth to try out rather than Vista
