You can change the size of the icons a couple of ways.
- On the Desktop, press and hold the Ctrl Key. Move the Mouse Scroll wheel up or down to increase/decrease the size.
- Right click the Desktop, select the View Menu, select one of the 3 sizes in the menu.
To uncompress a file. Right click the file and select Properties/General Tab/Advanced Button.
Remove the check mark from the Compress contents to save disk space option.
Click OK / Apply /OK.
Let us know the results.
