Greetings,
I hope this issue finds everyone doing well. I am fighting
some bad allergies right now, but I suppose it's a small
price to pay for the spring weather. Once everything starts
blooming, my sinuses just aren't happy! Hopefully I will
feel better this weekend so I can enjoy some time outside.
Enjoy,
Mandi

::::: This Week's Computer Tip :::::
Here's a way to make your desktop icons bigger or smaller:
Windows XP
Right-click the desktop and choose "Properties." Select the
"Appearance" tab then click the "Advanced" button.
Under "Item", pick "Icon" from the drop down list. Under
"Size" use the arrow keys to make the icons bigger or small-
er (you could also type in a number).
Click "Apply" to make changes.
You'll also notice "Font" and "Size". This is where you can
change these settings. If you make large fonts, you may need
to use a smaller font to prevent overlapping.
If you don't like the way the icons are spaced you can
always change that too. Under "Item" select "Icon Spacing
(Horizontal)" or "Icon Spacing (Vertical). Choose a number
slightly bigger than your icon size and it will adjust the
space.
Windows 98/ME
