Computer technology is always expanding and many people do not get used to a certain system before the next one comes out. Sometimes things happen when we click the wrong button and we do not know the way to bring them back in order.
One of such occurrences is when all the icons on the screen become too large that everything can’t fit on the screen again. This may be because your computer’s screen resolution is set too low, when the video drivers in your computer are corrupt or after some kind of accident. When it is caused by low screen resolution, don’t panic. There is a solution for this.
Things you need to get your screen size back to the proper size: First off you will need administrative access to it. Then;
Click on the "Start” Menu.
Select "Control Panel” from the displayed options.
When the Control Panel is open, you will see the "Appearance and Themes”. Accompanied with the picture of a monitor and a circular colored band beside it. Click on it.
Now you will have three options displayed; the "Folder” option, "Display” and the "Taskbar and Menu”. Click on the "Display” icon.
From the Display Properties, click on the "Settings” tab.
You will see a slider labeled "Screen Resolution”. It slides from "less” on the left side to "more” on the right side. Right-click and hold your cursor on it and slide it towards "more” to the right. The number below the slider should change to higher numbers. Higher numbers means that everything on the screen will appear smaller and small numbers means that everything on the screen will appear larger.
Click the "Apply” button when you are done. If it blanks your screen, it will reset after few seconds.
If you can’t move the slider or if the slider is "grayed out”, it may not be due to screen solution and you will have to seek a technicians help.
