Explorer 8

[Cougar]

I switched to Windows Explorer 8 A few months ago

and I am liking it.. I was messing around with the links bar/ favorites bar

across the top and I turned them in (tiny) small icons.

 

I have been recking my brain trying to get them back

to there normal size. any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Jeff

Well with IE7 you just right click on the bar and click "Use Large Icons". I hope this helps:thumbsup2:

IE8 is pretty much the same way. Just right click on the menu bar and then select customize. It will give you options of large icons, icons with text, etc.

Well heck, I did a screen shot to show you what I see but this awful internet connection at the hotel is not letting me upload files. I'll post it later when I have a better connection.

Trying again. If it works, here is an attachment of what I see when I right click on the menu bar of IE8.

I have tried it all. wonder why it is so hard to make it

go back? seems as if that option went away as well.

-Notice the TINY Icons

OK....here's what it looks like has happened. First of all, when you right click on the menu bar, you should be able to deselect the "Favorites" bar to get rid of all of those. If you wish to keep them, then right click on any one of those tiny icons and then choose "Customize Title Widths". You will see that the choices are "Long Titles", "Short Titles", "Icons Only". You can choose to add the titles to them if you wish. I personally have the favorites bar turned off and just use the drop down menu for my favorites. Actually, I don't even USE IE8 but if I did, I would have it turned off.

 

You have a LOT of favorites added to the bar. Don't know why or how you added so many because I think you have to add each one manually. When you save a page to your favorites, you have a choice of adding them to your favorites menu or to the favorites bar. You've added a LOT of them to the bar. To get rid of them, you have to right click and choose "delete".

Now fix one more thing and I will leave you alone

for at least a week I promise *he he he*

 

Under the box that I am typing this. I lost the main Smileys

I checked something and now all I got is this guy to click on

Is there a way I can set it back to default?

Thanks Much

Go to UserCP and choose "Edit Favorite Smilies" from the menu on the left. Then you can just select the ones that you want to show up.
