Surveys show that the majority of users around the world use a computer with Windows OS installed. However, only a small fraction of users really know their computer. And a task as easy as scaling down the desktop becomes a problem for them.
It is necessary
a computer with a preinstalled Windows XP system (Vista, Windows 7)
Instructions
Step 1
Right click on any free space on your desktop. Select "Properties" from the drop-down submenu. In the "Properties" tab, find "Display" and click on the "Parameters" item. Pay attention to the section "Screen Resolution".
Step 2
Find the slider in the section that is responsible for the display scale. Decide on the screen resolution you need. Read in the instructions for your computer what screen scale the computer manufacturer considers standard and recommends for installation. Keep in mind that changing the position of the slider in the "Screen Resolution" item will change the display of all objects on the desktop, as well as the scale of the table itself. Resolution is also responsible for the legibility and legibility of the font.
Step 3
In order to zoom out the desktop, place the mouse cursor on the slider, press and hold the left mouse button. Pay attention to the aspect ratio: the higher the screen resolution, the smaller the scale, and vice versa. Drag the slider slightly to the left to increase the screen resolution. This action simultaneously changes both the scale of the display and the size of all objects on the desktop, including standard shortcuts such as "My Computer", Windows media center, etc.
Step 4
Note that computer manufacturers customize utilities for a specific desktop scale. Resizing can have a negative effect on the quality of images and fonts.
Step 5
Undo zooming if there are image artifacts or defects in text fonts. To return to the manufacturer's approved values, in the "Screen Resolution" item, select the "Standard" setting.
Step 6
After choosing the optimal resolution and zooming out the desktop, click the "Apply" button to activate the new settings. In the Monitor Settings dialog box, click Yes for the change to take effect.
