how to reduce screen slightly

[wendilla]

At the top of screen you have The restore down ,and Minimize and close icons. I can just about reach these with the arrow as I can hardly see them. How can I sort the screen so as I can see them without having to guess where they are. I have windows 7. Thanks for any help.

What browser do you use?

Internet explorer

Another sensible question would be, "Which version of Windows do you use?"

For Vista, try this:
Start - Settings - Control Panel - Appearance & Personalisation - Windows Colour and Appearance - Advanced

In the dropdown box headed Item, select "Active Title Bar" and adjust the size of this to suit. Similarly, you can also adjust the font and font size.
(It's a good idea to make a note of the original settings before you start altering things, just in case you want to change back.)

Sorry! After "Appearance and Personalisation", you should select "Personalisation", then "Windows colour and appearance", etc...

Sorry again! It's a bit early on a Sunday morning!
Just re-read the question, I see you have Win 7!

As I said, my comments apply to Vista. I imagine 7 is much the same but if not I assume someone can translate my comments for you.

Hi Michael thanks for your reply. I have tried all that and still nothing but I just thought this has just happened since I had a much larger screen and there is a dvd came with it which I don't understand but I did see something about settings so perhaps that is where the problem is. As it is a touch screen monitor I will get a friend to have a look that mightunderstand it better than me.Thanks again for your time to my reply

what have you got, an Imax screen? How about if you just clicked on the Restore Down one; that would make the screen a bit smaller and then you could click on the sides and drag to make it any size or shape you like

Just ordinary aoc 21 inch screen.Touchscreen with a dvd disc for settings. The problem is I more or less have to guess where the restore down icons are.Think the problem is with the settings for the screen .Will find out later. Thanks for reply.

Sorry Wen, I didn't realise it's a touch screen monitor.
Is it a E2239FWT?

If so, I believe this link will tell you all you need to know (and a lot more besides!)
