I know this is a newbie question but How do i change the Size of Desktop icons and the taskbar ONLY. I cant remember.

right click on task bar---> properties--->Start menu tab--->Click Cutomize button there is an option for small or large options

for the desktop: right on on desktop Properties--->Apperience---> effects buttion check the "Use Large Icons"

The Desktop icons worked but i couldnt find anything to make the taskbar bigger in the customize it only had use small icons in the start menu i want to make the taskbar bigger though also the icons on the task bar for like the quick launch and icon tray are small.

the taskbar can b locked in win xp if u want to make it a bit bigger u will have to unlock taskbar first. do this by right clicking on the taskbar and selecting unlock (or lock if it is unlockd) or u can right click properties and its the box at the top. hope thats ok

Hi Re the task bar Rt. click on taskbar,untick lock the taskbar,then you can drag to whatever size you want. BOB
