  1. Resizing Items on the Desktop


    I am using Windows 10.


    Just got a new Desktop with a 27" monitor. I thought the larger monitor would give me more space. It did not. Everything is just bigger!


    How can I resize things on my Desktop so that I can fit more Windows, icons, etc.?


    I tried Display settings but it only allows me to make Fonts BIGGER! I would like Icons and Fonts to appear smaller.


    I work with multiple items open and would like to have many on the Desktop at one time. Yes, I know I can resize the Window but the Icons don't get smaller!


    Any ideas?

    :)
