Screen Resolution / Large Icons

[daz5505]

Hi

 

I work in a specialist school and i was wondering if there was a way to increase the desktop icons / menu's etc on out IT suite computers when a child logs on (or even perminatly) via our server and not manually at each computer. We used to drop the resolution but some of the applications we used changed it and it was becoming a but of a problem as each computer would have a different resolution. i would like the native resolution to stay and just have the icons etc change size

 

Thanks Guys

Hi daz,

 

You should be able to do this with GPP - configure the following DWORD key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\LogPixels

Here's the values you can use:

 

00000060 (Small Font Size 100%)

00000090 (Medium Font Size 125%)

00000144 (Large Font Size 150%)

 

This works fine on Windows 7.

Hi Daz,

 

Not exactly sure on the correct registry settings for Windows 10.

 

When I get a spare 5 mins I'll look into it.
