The size of your display is fixed, and typically 17", 19" or 21" in diagonal length, forrecent desktop computers. The resolution is determined by software, and defines the amountof pixels visible on screen.
The higher the number (resolution), the more information you see on your screen, but alsothe tinier your icons become, since more of the image needs to fit on a fixed monitor size.
Changing Your Screen Resolution on Windows
The easiest way to change your screen resolution on Windows is to right-clickon an emptyarea of your desktop.
From the menu that appears, click Properties, which should be the last item displayed onthe menu.
Windows' Display Properties window will open, with the first tab selected.
Testing Different Screen Resolutions on Windows

Under the Settings tab, locate the horizontal slider, under the Screen Resolution.
