| Making Buttons Larger Save your eyesight! |
| Do you ever have difficulty getting your mouse pointer directly on the "X" in the top right corner of your screen so you can close a program? Must be my eyes, but I think it gets smaller every year. Well, you can make it any size you like. It's really very easy. With your desktop showing (the screen with all those little icons), RIGHT click on a blank area of the screen. LEFT click Properties. The Display Properties dialog box will open. LEFT click the Appearance tab. In the bottom right corner, LEFT click the Advanced tab. In the bottom left corner of this dialog box, under Item , you will probably see Desktop. LEFT click the dropdown arrow to the right of Desktop and a list will appear. LEFT click Caption Buttons. Those are the 3 buttons in the top right corner of your screen (Minimize, Maximize and Exit). Under the Size box, click the Up arrow to make the number in the box larger. I have mine set at 29. LEFT click OK and LEFT click OK again. You will see a message on your screen asking you to "Please wait." Your computer is adjusting to the new size. Now open one of your programs and look in the upper right corner of the screen. The buttons will be much larger and easier to click on. Congratulations! You did it! Repeat the above steps until you get to the place where you see Desktop in the Item box. When you click the dropdown arrow, notice all of the other items you can change. Go ahead, play with them. Customize your computer to your liking.
