Your screen resolution may be too big.  Here's how to reduce it.\n\nRight-click anywhere on your desktop, then choose Properties.  Click the Settings tab.  Look at the setting for Screen Resolution.  It's probably at 640 X 480, or 800 X 600.  Move the slider to the right to choose a higher resolution (it makes everything smaller).  Click OK, and any confirmation screen OK.  If you like it, just click the confirmation OK in time and you're set.  If you don't, click Cancel and start over.

Hmm did you delete them in the recycle bin? If you did check to see if you can restore them before you remove them. If you empty the recycle bin then.. You sort of lost them. \n\nIf you moved them off the screen try increasing the screen revolution. Once you see the mising icons just move them back to where they were. If you stii do not see them right click->arange icons by-> (Pick your choice) this should re organize your icons but they should all be there.\n\nThe most obvious is  a system restore when all else fails.

Right click in the background on your desktop and select "Properties".\n\nSelect the "Settings" tab and make the screen resolution higher, try using 1024x768 or 1152x864

The problem may be that your screen isn't big enough, but most likely, you need to increase the resolution on your monitor.  To do that, go to Control Pannel, click on Display.  Then click on the settings tab.  Increase your screen resolution by moving the sliding bar toward "more".  Click OK, let the monitor adjust.  \n\nYou'll see that everything looks smaller on your computer screen.  But because everything is smaller, the websites will also look smaller, and will therefore be able to fit on your screen better.

Go to your desktop and right-click on a blank space....click on properties and select "settings" and adjust your screen to 1028x768 Pixels and that should solve your problem.\n\nGood luck

Go to the start menu, then Accessibility, then run the accessibility wizard to change font size.\nAlso try running your resolution to 600X800 right click on desktop, then properties, then settings tab. Turn the slider down to decrease resolution.

Hmmm. Have you tried changing your desktop picture and see if it works or gets rid of the white space. Seems to me, the background picture is probably causing it or your resolution setting is not working right.

right click on your dektop, goto properties>settings..find "screen area" and move the slider, 800x600 is standard..(1024x768 is a bit smaller)then hit apply>ok\n\nyour computer may restart, Windows saves settings when it restarts so you may want to restart before doing anything else.\nthis MAY work for you, it did for me

Try changing your display settings.\nStart, control panel, display, settings, then pick your screen resolution. Largest is 800 x 600. \nHope this helps, and I will look for more options.\nGary

It is because your Screen Resolution. \n\nSimply right click on your desktop (not the icon) --> click "Properties" --> click "Setting" tab --> At "screen resolution", move the amount to 800x600 or 1280x800 depend on what you usually use.\n\nThen click "Apply". Usually it will give you a preview so you know how thw desktop look like.

if you increase the number of displaying pixels, everything will be small surely. you can do nothing to stop it because it is the configuration of the computer. even if you bought a new LCD, it would be just like that

Is it just the icons, or also the text? To make the text bigger, hold down the "ctrl" key, and move the wheel on your mouse, to adjust the text size. Or, you can go to view at the top of the page, and click on text size, and set it to medium, or larger, whichever way is best for you..To make your icons larger, right click on your toolbar, and select customize.. At the bottom, you will see, where you can change the size of your icons..good luck..
