I accidently hit some buttons and everything on my screen enlarged and I can't seen to get it back to normal. I rebooted. I made the icons smaller. But everything is still too large. Help!

Check your display resolution, you may have adjusted the resoultion some how. Please try steps below.
Windows 10 Steps:

- on the first panel/screen you can adjust the size of text, apps, and other items and also change the orientation.
- To change the resolution settings, scroll down this window and click on Advanced Display Settings.
Windows 7 Steps:
- Open Screen Resolution by clicking the Start button
, clicking Control Panel, and then, under Appearance and Personalization, clicking Adjust screen resolution.
- Click the drop-down list next to Resolution, move the slider to the resolution you want, and then click Apply.
- Click Keep to use the new resolution, or click Revert to go back to the previous resolution.
Native Resolutions:
- 19-inch screen (standard ratio): 1280 x 1024 pixels
- 20-inch screen (standard ratio): 1600 x 1200 pixels
- 22-inch screen (widescreen): 1680 x 1050 pixels

When you change the screen resolution, it affects all users who log on to the computer.
When you set your monitor to a screen resolution that it can't support, the screen will go black for a few seconds while the monitor reverts back to the original resolution.
