Default 2 questions


I feel so silly asking these questions and hope someone can help me.
Even when looking over the answers of other questions I seem baffled by
computer speak so please if you can speak as plainly to me as possible I
would greatly appreciate it.

Two questions- and some questions within those questions.

My husband and I had the windows of our computer fairly large so it is
easy to read- well somehow that has changed to smaller text. I have
tried to change the resolution by right clicking on the desktop and it
isn't going back to the way it was before. Also, the pages I am
looking at on the net aren't the same- they are a smaller- more compact
print.

Also, my address bar- where I type in addresses has completely
dissappeared. Wonder where it has went to.=) How can I make this
come back.

Thank you for taking time to answer these basic questions. I
appreciate any and all help.

Hi,
Address Bar... If you can see any part of the Address Bar or the word
Address try double-clicking it.

In IE> View> Toolbars, Address Bar is checked, right?
Then go to IE> View> Toolbars, uncheck "Lock the toolbars" Grab the vertical
"handles" at the end of the various toolbars and move them around- up and
down as well as side to side.

Or go to http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFAQ.htm#IEToolbars Download and run
this REG file to reset IE toolbars to default:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/reg/IEToolbar.reg
[Close all browser windows and apply the REG script]"
- - -
Windows / text size...
Try Internet Explorer> View> Text size. A shortcut to this setting is to
hold down the Ctrl key while turning the mouse wheel. Accidental use of this
shortcut may have changed text size.

Hope this helps,
Don

Right click the a blank spot on the desktop and choose Properties |
Settings.
There is a screen resolution slider. Try moving it to the left.
