Resize Desktop Icons

If the icons on your desktop are too large or too small, you can quickly resize them into one of the three available sizes.

First, right-click anywhere on your desktop. In the context menu that appears, hover your mouse over “View.” In the sub-menu, you’ll see three sizes to choose from: large, medium, and small. You’ll see a dot next to the current size. Click the size that you want.

If you find that the three available options aren’t exactly what you’re looking for, you can place your cursor anywhere on the desktop, press and hold the Ctrl key, and then scroll your mouse wheel up or down to increase or reduce the size of the desktop icons, respectively. This adjusts the size in smaller increments, letting you get the size closer to what you want.

Resize Taskbar Icons

• There’s an option to adjust the size of the Taskbar icons in the Settings menu, but you only have two options: normal and small.
• Right-click on an empty space in the Taskbar. Click “Taskbar Settings” at the bottom of the context menu that appears.

The Taskbar Settings window will open. Near the top of the list of options, toggle the slider to the “On” position under the “Use Small Taskbar Buttons” option.

This will reduce the size of the taskbar icons.

To change the icons back to the default size, toggle the slider back to the “Off” position.
