Tech challenged? Read on
Tech Tips for Writers is an (almost) weekly post on overcoming Tech Dread. I’ll cover issues that friends, both real-time and virtual, have shared. Feel free to post a comment about a question you have. I’ll cover it in a future Tip.
Q:The desktop icons are tiny on my desktop. I don’t know how it happened, so I don’t know how to undo it. Please help!
A: This solution I learned in self-defense, like many other tips I share, when my students figured it out and made my desktop icons HUGE or tiny. Here’s how you fix that:
- Highlight all desktop icons by click and dragging a box around them
- Push Ctrl and roll the mouse wheel.
- It enlarges or delarges for you
That’s it. How wonderful. I no longer have to squint at icons too small for my eyes.
