    My Computer Shortcut


    Howdy,
    How can I create a shortcut for My Computer (This PC) on desktop in Windows 10?
    Actually there are 2 kind of shortcut for My Computer:

    1. If I just open File Explorer, from left panel I drag and drop This PC to desktop and a shortcut will be created on desktop (This PC - Shortcut). If I right click on that shortcut and choose Properties, "This PC - Shortcut Properties" windows will be opened, which is NOT what I want.

    2. I need This PC shortcut that when I right click on it and choose Properties, "Control Panel\System and Security\System" is shown! And I don't know how to create this one!

    Please advise.

    :)

  2. keyboard shortcut font size for my computer.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    We regret the inconvenience caused to you. Let me assist you.

    You can use Ctrl + Shift and the plus
    sign to increase font size and Ctrl + Shift and minus
    sign to Decrease font size on your system. You can also change the font size, if required from the Display settings. Follow the steps below:-

    1. Click on Start icon and go to Settings.

    2. Select System and then Display.

    3. On the right pane, under the option, Change size of texts, apps and other items set the size according to your preference.

    4. This would change the text size of the system as well as the apps.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    keyboard shortcut font size for my computer.

    My cat jumped on my keyboard and pressed buttons causing my whole laptop to change the size of everything to a smaller font. Even the time and date are smaller on the task bar. Also when I'm on the browse windows edge the fonts are smaller even tho its
    zoomed to 100%. I tried typing random keys and was able to change it back but I guess I hit the same thing again because it went straight back to it. The next time I try to fix it nothing worked. It's really annoying and I was hoping someone knows the keyboard
    shortcut or whatever it is to fix it or am I just going insane.

    Where do you want the shortcut ?

    On the desktop, the start menu or the taskbar ?

    If on the desktop then right click the desktop, choose personalazation, then themes, then Desktop Icon settings.

    I totally forget how I pinned it to the taskbar, but you can easily pin it to the start menu.
