Hi All

i'd like to ask a couple of questions on different subjects please

1 is there any way to get extra large icons in photo gallery the way you can in the pictures folder

2 is there any way to have a sound warn me when the battery is very low, my other vista laptop sounds a warning before shutting down
giving me time to plug in , the new one just shuts down.

3rd question while im asking questions lol with my other vista laptop i can plug anything into the mike jack and have the sound
come through the speakers, the new laptop disables the speakers when i plug into the mike jack but i still get system sounds.
on the other laptop there was a mute speakers to tick or untick and theres not on the new 1 that i can find

hope you dont mind me asking 3 instead of 2 questions but i know you are all brill at sorting probs so thought i
would ask

Regards

Carolyn

1. I don't think so. Maybe you want to try Fast Stone Image Viewer
2. Right click on the speaker symbol next to the clock on your taskbar > Sounds > Windows > Critical Battery alarm -> there you can set it
3. no idea

You can change the size of thumbnails in Photo Gallery by holding the CTRL key down and moving the mouse wheel up for larger and down for smaller.
