Adjusting the screen resolution
You can change the screen resolution to a size you prefer. For example, you 
can increase the resolution to fit more icons on your desktop, or you can 
decrease the resolution to make reading and identifying objects on the monitor 
easier. The higher the resolution, the smaller individual components of the 
screen (such as icons and menu bars) appear.
