Hi Dan,
sure here are instructions on how to do this
you can also modify your registry to make them even bigger
than the defaults in display\settings resolutions
right click on your desktop choose properties, then hit, settings
modify your desktop viewing area in pixels you will see different
possible settings like 800 x600 pixels.
try the smaller setting like 640 x 480
or try this in your registry to get them even bigger
Enlarge the icons, cursors and your desktop.
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that
may require you to reinstall Windows 95. Microsoft cannot guarantee that
problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved.
Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
With that said, let me assist you.
The registry key that you can use to set the screen resolution is:
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\Display\Settings
In here will be Resolution. Theoretically, it can be set to anything, but
it is a good idea to keep the proper aspect ratio. Normal resolutions are
640x800, and 800x600, so you could set it to 512x384, or 400x300.
