Instructions to Increase the Font Size
for All Icons
(Including the
Desk Top Icons)
1. Right click on the Desk Top but not on an icon and select “Properties” from the drop down box.
2. Then select the “Appearance” tab.
3. Then select the “Advance” button.
4. Then select the downward carrot next to “Desktop” to get “Icon to show up then select “Icon”.
5. Then you can select the “Font” type; I like “Arial”. Also you can choose the Font “Size”; I like “9”. Choose any font and size you like then keep selecting “OK” until you get back to the Desk Top. To go back to the default font and size just select the “Font size” as “Normal” as shown on the “Display Properties” menu shown below. Note: You will have to select the downward carrot just to the right and below of “Font Size” to make the change back take place.
