Readjusting the size of your desktop is easy. If you haven't experimented with your screen size, now is an opportune time to determine what setting suits you the best. You can easily return your screen to 640x480 if you desire. Changing this setting is not permanent!

PC users can readjust the size of the desktop area by :

1. Right click anywhere on the desk top

2. Choose properties

3. Choose the settings tab on the top

4. Where it says desktop area, slide the bar to your right until it says 800x600

5. Click Apply

6. A statement will pop up warnig that your desktop may flicker and take several seconds to readjust. Click OK

7. It will then ask if you would like to keep these settings and you click OK again.

To return your desktop area to its previous setting, simply follow the same steps. Instead of sliding the bar to the right, slide it to the left until it says 640x480 and click apply.
