Default PC help

while cleaning my key board on my laptop I have managed to make the way the windows appear on the screen much bigger.
I can get it back for the life of me.

I have tried adjusting the settings in control panel but its already says its on normal size.

HELP!!

Dont do restore just yet!

sounds like you have decreased the screen resolution.

What size is your screen?

Right click desktop and hit properties, click settings tab and tell me what your screen resolution is, that and your actual screen size, ill soon tell you if its wrong
