Using Large Icons in the Quick Launch Toolbar

January 23rd, 2008 ajua Leave a comment Go to comments

If you use the Quick Launch bar for storing your most frequent programs, you can have large icons displayed instead of the smaller ones that it have by default.

To make it possible just follow this easy instructions:

  • Unlock the taskbar by right-clicking on it and unchecking Lock the Taskbar.
  • Go to an empty space in the taskbar and right-click on it to select View – Show Large Icons.
  • Lock the taskbar by right-clicking on it and checking Lock the Taskbar.

Now it will show 32×32 pixels icons instead of the default size, which is 16×16.

This is an easy tip, but many people doesn’t know this already.

    sk: make sure you right-click on the taskbar drag handle after you unlock it. The view menu is there. change the icon size and lock it back if you want.

    Hola.

    Hasta dónde he sabido, no se pueden modificar los botones para las ventanas.

    Sin embargo, puedes buscar en internet y quizás alguno de esos paquetes que modifican la interfaz de XP pueda hacerlo.

    Saludos.
