How do u change the size of my icons?

How can I change the size of the icons on my desktop?

  • I have just connected my Windows XP acer travelmate laptop up to my new HD TV and the desktop icons have become really big, and pixelated on my new screen, and also when I am on the internet it shows a horizontal scrollbar which I do not normally have, I know that there is a simple way to change the size, I just can't remember how to do it.....

  • Answer:

    well the actual icons you can change size by holding the Control key down & mouse wheel scroll it. No what you really need to do is to change your resolution options. It probably changed to 800x600, so you need to go to the Display options after you right click & change the resolution to what fits your TV. If you connected by VGA you won;t be able to go over 1024x768. I dont know about HDMI, but I have heard you can do higher resolutions with that.
