On my old Win 7 computer the toolbar icons were pretty easy to see. Now, I'm just setting up my new computer and I've found the toolbar icons are really, really tiny. Actually, all the toolbars and controls have shrunk! how to increase the sizes of the icons?
I have a Samsung N145 JPO2 netbook. I've had it approx 5 weeks. By mistake I deleted the Bing toolbar. That messed up being able to connect to IE. I've reloaded the Bing toolbar. IE comes on but after 1-2 minutes gone again.
When I open up the Web from any source, including shortcuts, sometimes it comes up in a reduced size, sometimes in a full size, and I have to click on Maximize / Minimize to get the window to the desirable size. How can I get my Web pages to open up in full or minimized size? Is there any technical steps to set this option?
All my icons on desktop are internet explorer, when I try to open I get a window that says view downloads but when i try to open program it doesn,t work. The same with start menu.
The little icons beside each of my favorites are starting to get scrambled - the icon from one site will appear as the icon for another site. I've tried going into Tools>Internet Options>Advanced and resetting Internet Explorer settings, but that didn't work.
I've searched for a while now but can't seem to find a way to increase the size of the icons on the desktop toolbar. Maybe it's something that can't be done but it'd be good because they look silly that small when you have large icons set on the taskbar
Windows 7 - I'm trying to add some icons to the Toolbar (Google, Yahoo, Ask, whatever) and I can't do it. Seems like I used to go to the website and just drag from the address bar but when I try that now, I get a circle with a slash through it. I'd also like to get the icon that is the website's logo, not just a standard IE icon that's too generic to know when I look at it.
icon like the Excel I have, no icon appear and all I see is white with its file name "file.xls" as example. I have my Microsoft Office properly installed and when I double click it, it normally opens the file. I also restarted my pc many times but still no excel icon. All I want to fix is that why there's no excel icon.
I recently "enabled" the quick launch toolbar for windows7. When I hover my cursor over the icons the resulting "box" encasing it does not match with my current theme.I'm using Win7StyleBuilder and I'm trying to change this, but I'm having a hard time finding where it is...
want to be able to have a completely clear desktop, void of icons and start toolbar with a hot key. However, I would like to be able have access to the start toolbar and able to have desktop icons available to me. This is where the hot key would come into play: the ability to hide/unhide both sets (icons and toolbar) simultaneously
I've just bought a new PC which has Windows 7 installed so just finding my way about! My old PC was running XP and all my program shortcuts in the Quick Launch Toolbar had relevant icons on them. However, although some shortcuts I've put on my 7 QLT have appeared with the relevant icons, for instance FF and TB, 3 other programmes have just come up as blank cream coloured folders. So is there a way to get the proper icons instead of the blanks?
1. I would like to know if there is a way to get the Favorites that is in the left hand navigation panel on the Windows Explorer toolbar beside "Organize.....Open....New folder" (or the very least in the "File....Edit...Tools....View...Help" Menu bar)
2. Is there a way to get the Up functionality in Windows Explorer itself without replacing the Explorer with Classic Shell & the likes?
3. Can I somehow highlight the Parent Folder in the Windows Explorer address bar? That would make navigating extremely easier.
I want to add a button that creates a new text document and put it next to the New Folder button in Windows 7, so that clicking it will give me the same result as right-clicking in the folder and choosing New>Text Document.
I have read this page: Add a Custom Command Button to the Windows 7 Explorer Toolbar - Windows 7, Explorer toolbar, FolderTypes, command bar, custom button, RegEdit, registry, jscript, Dan Rollins
and this page: Adding custom buttons to the Explorer command bar � winJade
So ive got the button appearing, and i can get it to open the actual program Notepad, but not create a new text document inside the folder. I dont know if its just a variable i need to add onto the command line "c:windowssystem32 otepad.exe", or its a different command altogether..
I bought a new Gateway laptop. Installed Windows 7 home premium 32-bit that came with it. Once in a while, after I close the lid, my desktop icons will change size, sometimes smaller, sometimes bigger. It's really annoying because when it's really big, the icons move around. I'll have to change them back to the size I want and move them back to the place they were. I've updated everything i.e. windows update, hardware drivers etc. I've disabled desktop gadgets but it still does it.
I'm looking for a way to either resize or remove the icons from the taskbar, here is a screenshot just to be clear: (red box around them)The reason I want to resize or remove them is because I've got my taskbar set very small (as you can see in the picture) and the icons are too big to fit properly on the taskbar.I've tried fooling around in the WindowMetrics registry key, but I couldn't find anything useful.
I've got multiple users and the icons on the welcome screen are small. I would like to increase their size, but I have not been able to find a way to do it.
when installing Windows 7 I unintentionally enlarged the size of the icons on my desktop. However, I am using the standard (100%) setting for the size of the computer screen. The icons and the side board are more than double as large as they were by Vista and XP.
Yesterday, I upgraded my Vostro 1500 laptp from WinXP to Windows 7 without any problem except for icon size. Correct grahpic driver (GEForce 8400M GS) for Windows 7 was also updated. I like the smaller icons size on desktop and taskbar in WinXP with native screen resolution of 1280 x 800. After converting to Windows 7, the screen size was also restored to 1280 x 800 too. But the icons size on both desktop and taskbar is rather bigger in Windows 7. (Text size is just fine). I could not resize the same icon size as in Win XP. I tried to change but 9 point Segoe UI at 96pixels per inch is default in Windows 7. The scale to the percentage of normal size is 100% or above, not less than 100%.
My desktop icons change the size from small to medium after any numbers of restarts. They were small before and I would like them to stay that size. how to lock the size or why they change the size all the time.
