    How do I get desktop icons to appear expanded when I click on them?


    Is it possible to have the icons on the desktop, appear expanded when I click on them? The icons in the taskbar when I click on them appear expanded.

    Sorry but I don't understand what you are asking. Can you elaborate a bit please?

    Are you talking about this in the Taskbar?

    There are icons on my desktop (in the picture of your reply, you have icons on your screen). When I click on one of the icons on my desktop - it opens as a small screen on the desktop (I can see the other icons behind the screen - I would like it to open 'expanded' - full screen view on the monitor.

    Here is one way: Is there anyway to open fullscreen windows by default?
