    Desktop and File Explorer Icons and text suddenly gone too small


    Recently when I started my Dell Laptop I noticed that the desktop Icons were too small and text looked like little dots and the same thing in File explorer. I tried right clicking and resizing icons but it isn't right. I even tried to reset to default. Nothing works. Lost and confused.

    :)

    Cannot find Desktop Icon in File Explorer


    Now that is interesting. If I do what you suggest, File Explorer Address bar changes to C:\Users\username\documents and the missing ICONS are there. But there is still not a "Desktop" folder.

    Is this a step in the right direction?

    2 users on HP computer - the text size on 1 user has gone small


    The text size has suddenly gone small, since yesterday, on one of the users' site, but the other is perfectly O.K.

    I have tried correcting it through the 'display', but this hasn't solved it. Any suggestions welcomed!
