Default After Windows Updates and restart

everything is huge...icons, text, etc.
I am using Windows 7.
I went into control panel and have the resolution set to the max and the font size set to normal (100%). No effect.

I thought I would try a system restore but it came back and showed that I have no restore points saved (which I know I have because I have done so in the past).

I am guessing one of the updates have changed a driver and I am now at a loss what to do next.

Suggestions?

Default Try this...

right click the desktop, click View, and then click Large Icons, Medium Icons, or Classic Icons. (Classic icons are the smallest size.)



Tip

You can also use the scroll wheel on your mouse to resize desktop icons. On the desktop, press and hold CTRL while you scroll the wheel to make icons larger or smaller.

I have done what you suggest. That does reduce the font sizes for example looking at this forum page. But does not reduce the much larger TOTV format or the email outlook template.

Very simple solution. Hold down the CTRL key and use the wheel on the mouse to make everything larger or smaller.

Default .

Someone helped me with the opposite issue. Hold down the control and the minus sign. Mind you I know nothing of what I am doing....just sharing how someone helped me.
