I have small icons in my task bar and want to enlarge
them. How do I do that?

Go to MVP Kelly's website and look on Line97, right column. "Increase the
Size of Taskbar Buttons - Undo". Click to download both vbs files. Double
click the files to run.

Could you specify what icons you're referring to? Are you referring to the
icons in the "Quick Launch" area, or those that are inside the buttons
corresponding to open programs?

For the former, you can go to large icons by:
- unlocking your taskbar if it's locked (right-click the clock and uncheck
"Lock the Taskbar")
- right-clicking on the left edge of the Quick Launch bar, and choosing View
\ Large Icons.

For the latter, there isn't really a direct way you can to this. You can
play around with your Appearance settings, which will let you change title
bar size (and consequently, the size of the icons). You can do this from
Display Properties \ Appearance tab. You could also change your DPI setting
from Display Properties \ Settings tab \ Advanced button, but that will
change the size of everything on your screen.
