This is a good tip, and not exclusive to Windows XP users...all Win9x/NT/2000 users can do the same.
Our friends in Redmond have given us XP users a nice way to increase the size of our window elements (window scroll bars, icons, icon placement, application font size, etc, etc). This is REALLY useful when you are using a 7" VGA screen in a car.
This stuff is hidden in:
Eventually you will end up with all of you desktop, application, and folder elements much bigger on this tiny screen. This way you can use a higher resolution screen setting without having to suffer with TINY icons, scrollbars, text, etc).on dekstop, right click/Properties/Appearance/Advanced/Item:....then select the "item" you would like to change. Play with (click up or down on the "size" select box) things like Icon (size, vertical & horizontal spacing, scrollbar, Caption Buttons, etc, etc).
The attached screen shots are from my CarPC running VGA/Lilliput in 800x600.
Enjoy!!

You're right! I just discovered that my W98 machine has this same capability. I guess I just never needed it on a 15" monitor. Thanks!
