Modern video cards and monitors create a very high quality graphic image that allows you to place hundreds of different shortcuts on your desktop. The quality of the image is, of course, good, but what if the picture is so high-quality that it is not always possible to make out the font of the labels and the icons themselves? The Windows 7 operating system provides ample opportunity to customize the desktop settings.

Instructions
Step 1
To increase the size of the icons on the computer, that is, on the desktop in the operating system, click the "Start" button and select "Control Panel". In the Control Panel window, find the Appearance section. If there is no such item, in the upper left corner, click on the "Switch to classic view" tab.
Step 2
In the "Design" section, click on the "Screen" item located at the top of the window. The operating system graphical settings will open. You can also open this menu in another way. Right-click on the desktop. Click on the "Properties" tab in the context menu.
Step 3
Notice the page that opens, titled "Screen Reading Ease". This is where you can increase the size of the desktop icons, as well as the font of the labels below them. The system offers three options - small (set by default), medium and large. Select two items in turn - medium and large, and decide which of the options you like best.
Step 4
Check your selection and click the "Apply" button. Appreciate the changes to the desktop by minimizing all windows. You can also change the font size by clicking on the item "Other font size" and select the required scale of characters. This section also contains settings for the desktop screen resolution, color schemes, color calibration, screen saver options, and changing the desktop background. Experiment with the settings and customize your appearance mode.
Step 5
If in the future you have any problems with the resolution of the screen or icons on the desktop of the computer, you can change everything in the same way. Try different options. Also in this menu you can view some parameters of the installed video card.
