New Resolution - Small Icons

Hi, I recently got a new HDTV, it has a VGA connector so it easily connects to my PC.

The problem comes when I change my PC resolution to 1900x1080, all the icons and the text have gone incredibly small in comparison to the screen, I would like to know if there is any "quick" way around this problem so I can have everything in proportion.

Oh and just incase it is needed my graphics card is: 1024mb Nvidia 9600gt.

Thanks.

Re: New Resolution - Small Icons

Welcome to D-A-L.

Click on an empty area of your Destop and choose Properties. Then click on the Appearance tab. In the bottom right of that tab, click on Advanced. In the drop down box for Item: (click the down arrow) choose ICON. The default size is 32 (by 32) pixels. Raise that number until you are happy with the icon size.

The text size is also changed in this same window.
