Q - Your first question might be

Sometimes you might want to get rid of the scroll bars on the screen. Perhaps you're just tired of scrolling up and down and back and forth. There are at least three ways you can change the size of the things on your screen. Click on the links below to see how.

Number 1	The Quick Way
Number 2	This works even if you do not have a wheel on top of your mouse.
Number 3	This method will keep your screen at a different size all the time. It will change the size of the screen for everything you view whether you are in Internet Explorer or not. You CAN always change it back anytime you want to.

If you're trying to read something and it's too small, try holding your control key [Ctrl] down, and then roll the wheel on top of your mouse backwards and forwards. This will make the screen smaller or larger. If you're in Internet Explorer you will notice in the lower right corner of the screen that the percentage goes up and down as you do this. This method also works in other Microsoft programs such as MS Word.

This method is like method number 1 except that it can be done even if you have a mouse with no wheel on top. Open up Internet Explorer and click the little arrow pointing down that is located in the bottom right corner of the screen beside the screen percentage. Once it is open click on a size of your choice.

NOTICE: This will also work if you hold down the control key [Ctrl] and press the plus key [+] to make things larger, or minus key [-] on the keyboard to make them smaller.

Q - Your first question might be... "Why would I want to change my screen resolution, and what does that mean"?

A - The reason for having a higher screen resolution is because you can see more on your screen without having to scroll. Most computers are defaulted at 800x600 screen resolution, but the newer models can go higher.

A - Yes, but it doesn't take long to get used to it and you'll really like NOT having to scroll up and down and sideways all the time. In fact, when you have scroll bars on the page, they also take up even more room.

Step 1 - Go to your desktop (the screen you go to whenever you boot up your computer)

Step 2 - Click your right mouse button (the button on the right of your mouse) on the desktop (but not on top of an icon), and then go down to the bottom and left click on Properties.

That will bring up a screen that looks something like this
depending on which operating system you are using.
(Windows 2000/2003/XP)

Step 4 - Slide the bar under the caption "Screen resolution" until it says 1024 by 768 and then click Apply .

IMPORTANT: Once you have done that, your computer will show you what the screen will look like, and ask if you want to keep those settings. click yes if you do, but if you do nothing, the screen will go back to where it was before you changed it.
