Hi!
I cannot get my many desktop icons to show up. Any
suggestions? My main ones like Yahoo and Google
do not show up like they did before.
Thanks

Thank you for helping me get my icons back on my desktop. Now all I have to
do is to figure out how to compress them so they don't fill the entire screen left and right side. Before I could have them take up only half the screen.
Thanks again,

Right click on a blank area of the desktop , click VIEW and select which size you prefer
RIGHT click on the desktop, choose "Display Settings", then look to the "Resolution" line., The higher the screen resolution, the smaller the icons and text will be. Generally, it's best to set the resolution to the "native resolution" (best resolution for that monitor in regards to clarity) but some like it higher or lower depending on preferences. It's your choice.
Hope this helps.
