See Icons Easier

Do you have a difficult time reading the description under your Desktop icons? Does the font seem just a bit too small?

Well, not to worry. It's a snap to change it!

1. Right-click a blank area of your Desktop and select Properties from the resulting menu.

2. Click the Appearance tab and select Icon from the Item drop down box (should be the second drop down box).

3. You should now see a Font drop down box below the one you were just playing with. You can adjust the size from the Size drop down box next to it.

Just FYI -

"Times New Roman" and "Arial" tend to be a couple of the most "readable" fonts, so you may want to change the font to one of those.

Finally, note that you can also adjust the size of your desktop icons on that screen by using the top "Size" box. So, if you want 'em bigger, just arrow up. If you would prefer a smaller bunch of icons, click the down arrow.

Who knew icons were this much fun?
