Tip of the Week: How to Change the Size of Your Desktop Icons
There seem to be thousands of different ways a user can customize their desktop experience. Almost every nook and cranny of a system can be adjusted, even right down to the icons on your desktop. For this week’s tip, we’ll show you how to adjust the size of your desktop icons.
“Change the size of my desktop icons, why would I want to do that?” We’re glad you asked. This isn’t a well-known tip, and it’s not as personal of an adjustment to make as say, changing your desktop wallpaper image, but it can come in handy. Here are three examples:
- Your eyesight isn’t good and you need to enlarge the icons to see them better.
- Your desktop is too cluttered and you need to make some quick space by making every icon smaller (this isn’t a best practice).
- Or, you need to pull a quick prank on a co-worker who has just stepped away from their PC and left it unlocked by quickly changing the size of every desktop icon.
