This tip is for people who want to change the size of the icons on the desktop. There are only three options: small, medium (this one is default with your computer), and large. You can choose to have small icons if you can see that good or if you want to make your desktop look neater by the icons shrinking and getting closer together. You can choose large if it is better for you to see the icons, or if you like the way it looks. To learn how to change the icon size, please view the video:
How to Make Folder Icons Invisible
This tip can make your folder icons invisible. You can use it to prevent other people from finding your folder or just to play a trick on your friends. To do this, you need to right-click on the folder and go to Properties. Then go to the Customize tab and select a blank icon and press Ok. To make the text hidden, highlight the text by clicking on it once, then click on it again. Then hold the Alt key and press 255. Now it will be hidden. This doesn't work perfectly if you have large icons. Also, if you forget where it is once it's invisible, just click and drag your mouse cursor over the whole desktop and it will get highlighted.

How to Change Screen Resolution
The higher your screen resolution, the better quality your screen will look when you watch movies, play games, etc... Also when your screen resolution is higher, everything looks smaller compared to when you have a lower resolution. If you have a hard time seeing your screen, you might want to lower your resolution, just keep in mind that your screen won't look as sharp as your highest setting. If you have Windows 7, your probably have your screen resolution already at the highest resolution. However, some computers don't automatically come preset with the highest resolution. This goes especially for people that barely install Windows XP. You usually have to download the correct video driver and then change your screen resolution.

How to Pin Programs to Start Menu
Instead of having icons of programs on your desktop, you can have them pinned to the start menu. This means, you would just have to click the start button and your program will be somewhere in that little menu. This is good if you don't want a messy desktop, or if you are used to open programs from your start menu like me. The process is very simple, you just need either the program itself or a shortcut of that program. Please watch my video to learn how to do this.
