Windows XP and Explorer

Change Toolbar Icon Size

SUMMARY: Increase Windows XP Explorer's icons to make them more distinguishable or shrink them to save space onscreen.

You might find the icons in Windows XP Explorer toolbars small and difficult to distinguish. Or, you may instead wish to allow more space in an Explorer window to display files. It's easy to toggle between small and large toolbar icon sizes:

1. Double-click the "My Computer" icon on the desktop to open the "My Computer" window.

2. Select "View" - "Toolbars" - "Customize".

3. The "Customize Toolbar" dialog box will appear. Next to "Icon options" select "Small icons" or "Large icons" as desired.

4. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
