  1. How to scale "only" the windows menu taskbar & desktop icon? and not other installed app or...


    Hi, recently I want to rescale my Windows settings. I went to change it into 150% as it's recommended, I use 100% before. But not just the taskbar and text, everything is scaled, such as every other application, even every website that I browsed like goole, FB, etc, and it's annoying me. Is there any way, to only rescale the windows menu? But not 3rd app/web browser we use?

    :)

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?

    Desktop icons moved to taskbar menu

    Please try this:

    • Right click an empty part of the Desktop and choose 'View' - Show Desktop Icons
    • Right click the Taskbar, select 'Toolbars' and uncheck Desktop

    Problem with desktop icons

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    This issue could be caused if the Desktop Icons are hidden.



    1. May I know, if you are aware of any recent changes made to the system after which you are facing this issue?
    2. Which version and edition of Windows is installed on the computer?


    I suggest you go through this articleShow, hide, or
    resize desktop icons
    follow the steps, if the icons are hidden, you should get it back.



    If you want to pin any icon to desktop you can check

    Pin apps and folders to the desktop or taskbar
    and you can easily access them from the desktop screen.



    If you still face the issue, reply to this post with more information.



    Hope it helps.
