    Get new glasses. You're welcome.

    Well ok, I'm FAR from being a techie, but right click on your desktop, then click on display settings. I'd assume if you then click on change size of display settings (100%, 125% etc), it might help you out. If not, I have no clue.

    Actually, that enlarges everything EXCEPT that area.

    Ha ha ha! That's what you get for accepting the advice of a non-techie!

    Any screen can be totally changed in size by hitting "CTL +" or "CTL -". Until I can get cataract surgery (who knows now?), I have to zoom in on the screen using those methods on many screens. CTL+ zooms in...........then CTL- zooms out. I have to do it all the time.

    The other option is to try using the Help Screen in whatever program you are using. I had to do that very thing yesterday after my fumble fingers screwed up my view in my email program.

    WTF??? Muddy is a jinx! He posts this yesterday and Bwana's screen went fubar!

    About 15 mins ago, my task bar across the top changed to a tiny font just as in Muddy's pic above. I have no clue what happened, I obviously punched a wrong spot on my screen unintentionally, but now I can't get it back to where it was before ... and always has been until today! Thanks Mudward! (for nuttin'!)

    Bwana, your fix did nuttin' for me. Has anyone figured this out yet? Dang, I've been on Win 10 since it first came out and Bucky said it was written by the debbil himself. I've never had even a hint of a problem until now. WTF?

    Ok, I just figured it out and all is back to normal. There was a little magnifying glass icon in the top right hand corner (by the little star for bookmarks). I clicked on it and it showed my screen was set at 80%. It had a plus/minus sign next to it, i hit the "plus" and it increased the size by 10% increments every time I hit it. It's now back to 100%! Also, when I hit 100%, the icon disappeared, so I have no clue how I hit it accidentally. I see now the whole page was actually smaller.

    The only adjustment for the bookmark area, etc., which I posted about, is capitalization.....so, I capitalized the name of all my bookmarks.....that made them somewhat easier to read, at least.
