    Change font size for desktop icons


    Something strange is going on at Sevenforums. I already did this search for the tutorial, saved it
    and wanted to reload to print.


    Fonts - Change


    Nothing loads but the home page.

    Result is I'm prevented from making a print copy to go over line by line. Perhaps it will load from my
    message here. Very strange.

    Ok, I know I've seen this/read through it probably just on screen previously.

    At the selection screen for font and size I know I've had problems. Perhaps I had missed a step in that it appears fonts and size have to be adjusted individually.

    It's fortunate that those at 7Forums have been through this before.

    I will give one example:

    On my homenet I have a shared file containing media. This must load in Explorer.
    In this window everything is tiny. What would be the steps to just fix-- I guess it's Explorer-- windows?

    Lots of code in this procedure. It hardly seems an improvement over XP, just more kitchen sink options:
    transparent, no transparent etc. etc. (My editorial.)


    Thanks for answering.

    I got back on this problem today and no regedit is required for my need

    To change the font size for icons on the desktop:

    Start > Search box > windows color and metrics > The dialog opens and the default is desktop >
    down arrow to Icon and there once in Icon, the font size can be adjusted (down arrow for larger selections.)

    This was obscure to me for a long time but I finally have some options of fonts to look at.

    The suggested solution earlier shows some regedits which I have avoided. The secret word is "metrics."

    Thanks for all your patience with my questions.
