    changing Windows Explorer text size


    Hi,

    I have a new 43'' screen.

    I don't to keep the "size of text, apps and other items" to 100%, because some apps don't show a great quality when set to 125% and higher.

    How can I only change the size of Windows Explorer text ?


    Thanks,

    Patrick

    :)

    Windows 10 font size change INSIDE EXPLORER.exe WINDOWS

    I also had this same problem. Try changing the "icons" text size setting in the dropdown you show. I found that this directly affected the text size in the Windows Explorer windows.

    how to make font size larger in file explorer...

    So... Here I am again. Does anyone know if there is a way to make the font size larger in windows 10 FILE EXPLORER?

    Not the "advanced display setting" change. I am talking specifically about FILE EXPLORER. Changing the font size of text in title bars, menus, etc. has no effect on FILE EXPLORER.

    The text or font size in left and right panes are too small. I need the font size to be bigger. Is that possible? If not from windows or file explorer settings, then maybe an add-on? And if windows does not provide the functionality to change font size,
    does anyone know of an alternative app that does?

    Not the "large icon" setting. I am talking specifically about the font size, not the icons.

    Thank you.
