I have a related question. I was adjusting the font size and display
appearance size for my father who has significant loss of sight. The
appearance is extremely large now, but I can't access lower areas in the
control boxes since they are off the screen and there is no scroll bar to
take you to the bottom of the box. For example, I wanted to change the mouse
settings, but I can't see the bottom of the control box any more.

How do I set it back to default settings or normal display settings so I can
make further changes. I can't see the Advanced options in the Appearance box
to let me change the font size back-- it also is off the screen!

I assume there is a simple fix, but I don't know what it is. Any help?
Thanks.

I am not talking about just icons either.
The item: Icon has a font size. That font is for the names under the
icons on the desktop and window text.

Use other items where applicable for other fonts, e.g. Menu, Message
Box

OK. I guess I did not explain correctly.

I am not just talking about icons. I am talking about all fonts used
in windows such as when you right click on something and bring up the
property box - the font size used in or on it or the size font used
when in explorer where it list the directories and files and all the
other windows fonts - not just the icons.

I know it can be done somehow because I seen it once but can not
remember where or how.

Adjust the font for the icon names in Control Panel-Display-Appearance
tab.
The item to use is "Icon"

You can also try using Large Fonts on the Settings tab (Advanced)



How / where do I adjust / increase the font size for like the desktop
icon names and the standard operating font size for the
various windows programs. As I get older the smaller font sizes are
getting harder to see.

Sorry if I am not explaining myself clear enough but hopefully someone
can help me out here.

TIA
