Windows 7: How do I increase default print size in emails & web sites?

I recently purchased a new laptop which came complete with Windows 7 o/s. One real problem for me is that the print size on incoming emails and all web sites is smaller than on my old XP o/s. Please can someone explain in simple abc terms, if possible (I am a silver surfer!), how I can permantely enlarge the print. On XP there was an item to click termed 'increase zoom level' (I can't find something similar on Win 7) but I don't want to be having to do that all the time. Thanks in anticipation of your help.

This might help.
Right click on Desktop. Select Properties and then Display. You will find many options. In web pages you can hold down the ctrl on the keyboard and just use your scroll wheel the change the size.
