Right click on the Desktop | Properties | Appearance. If there is an
Advanced button click that. In the Item drop-down box select Icon. Change
the font size there.

Note that this will change the font size in some other places as well.

The problem seems to be that the text size for the headers is too big
thereby only allowing a small amount of headers to fit on the top half of
the page. I have tried to reduce the text size but this only reduces the
size of the text in the message in the lower half of the page and not in
the header. help!

What exactly do you want to make smaller? The entire program so some of
your Desktop will show? That won't give you more room to view headers.

Are you viewing in the Preview Pane? Is that what you want to make
smaller so you see more messages headers in that pane? Just put the
cursor on the separator bar between the two panes. When it is in the
right place it will turn into a double arrow. hold the left mouse key and
drag the Preview Pane to the size you want. Same with the folder tree
column.

How do i make outlook express smaller on my screen? I dont mean
minimizing it, its just that i can only fit 9 headers on the page, it
used to be much more than this. Also, the folders column on the left
hand side is so big too.
Any help appreciated.
