Windows XP start menu and task bar icons huge?

Question

I'm having some trouble with my windows XP taskbar...?
i'm running a Windows XP Pro (SP2) computer, and this morning, my mom was on it and she made somehow the min, max and close icons up top of webpages really small I fixed that but now my start menu icons (after you click programs) are bigger then they were and same with my task bar icons. You can see the pixels of the task bar icons. What do I do to fix this?

Changing the resolution makes everything to small.

I'm using 800 x 600 and I tried using every resolution and they are smaller.

Answer 1

Try changing the screen resolution to about 1024x768 it is usually a pretty comfortable resolution for most people.

Right Click on desktop, click on Properties
Click on Settings tab...
Slide the bar until you get to 1024x768
Clcik on apply...you screen will flicker and change the size of everything.
It will ask if it is what you want to keep...Click yes or no...if no...try a different resolution...if yes...click on OK...

Answer 2

Check the resolution of screen for this right click on the deskstop and click properties choose settings under screen resolution slide the bar to increase the resolution and click apply and click yes ( choose 800X600 or higher )
choose different resolution and try..
if not try changing theme

Answer 3

I would like to know what resolution you are running, but try this:
right click on the taskbar, click properties. click the start menu, and whichever menu you have selected, click customize. under general, you can select small or large icons.

Answer 4

Lock it so nobody can open it? Or click on it? You can't do that, but you can set up a user and limit the access they have to programs.

Answer 5

go into settings and make it smaller.
in control panel> display>appearance>then it will say windows and buttons and you can take it from there
