Windows Forum / Windows XP / Customization / April 2004How to make desktop larger
Is there a way to make everything that I see bigger? I lowered the desktop resolution, but then the screen is fuzzy (using a flat panel). In Win 2000 there was an accessibility option to make everything bigger. I tried the magnifier, but even the lowest setting magnifies everything too much and makes it unpractical. Is there a way (without lowering your desktop resolution) to make everything you see larger like you could in Win 2000 accessibility? Perhaps another alternative to the magnifier as it is too much, and does not have a setting between 1 and 2 Any help will be greatly appreciated Thank you Hi, If you want to make the fonts larger, right click on the desktop and select properties. Flip to the appearance tab and under font size, you can select 'Normal', 'Large' and 'Extra large'.

Anando We did that as well, thank you. I appreciate the quick response, thank you. I apologize, I should have included a little more details on my problem We use a lot of different applications and the fonts in each application appear very small. We have increased the font size on some applications, but web and other proprietary type applications (warehouse distribution) still have small fonts, and there is no option to increase font size within the application its self. I was hoping there is some sort of accessibility option (like in Win 2000) that would just make everything (the whole screen) larger…I tried the magnifier and it’s just too much. Thank you again Mario Hi, OK try this. Once again right click on the desktop and select properties. Flip to the settings tab and click on advanced. On the general tab, specify a larger DPI. I think this would solve your problem.
