Make your Desktop Icons Larger

There is a way you can increase the size of the icons on your Windows desktop, and its quite easy to do. For XP users, right-click on the desktop, choose Properties, then the Appearance tab, and then click the Advanced button. Under item, choose Icon from the dropdown menu, then you can increase the size by adjusting the number just to the right of the dropdown. When done, just hit OK. If you think its not big enough or maybe too cheesy, just repeat the process and find the right balance for you. You can also adjust items such as the font size and spacing between icons. For 98/ME, follow the same procedure, but you do not need to click on an Advanced button. The options you need will be right under the Appearance tab.
