LARGE icons on 19" monitor
I am running RC1 with a NVIDIA GeForce FX5200 video card (Microsoft Drivers)
at 1280x1024 connected to an Envision EN1410 LCD monitor configured at 60Hz. My question is, why are the icons SO H U G E ? I have installed the Envision driver but it did not change anything. Is there a way to get the icons smaller? I have changed the DPI scaling from Larger to Default and the "Custom" setting does not allow me to go any smaller than 96DPI. My XP incons for my XP box on this monitor and same video card are much smaller. The native resolution for this monitor is 1280X1024. Thoughts |

Try pressing CTRL and scrolling your mouse wheel back & forth.

Peter,
That is a really sexy and cool way to change the size of your desk top icons.
