I concur.

Check your screen resolution (calculate the number of pixels in the diagonal),
and measure the diagonal (in inches). Divide resolution/diagsize and then adjust
the DPI setting (which is a percentage of 96 dpi !!) with Display Properties/Settings/
Advanced.

Example:
Dell Inspiron 17" with 1920*1200 pixels
diagonal = SQRT(1920*1920 + 1200*1200) = 2264 pixels
diagonal = 16.6 inch (measured!)
hence 2264 / 16.6 * 100/96 = 142%

When you set this value, everything on the desktop will probably shrink;
your labels with fit their intended position and size; your desktop labels might
be too small for easy reading (you may want to enlarge it through Display Properties/
Appearance/Font Size).
On the other hand most objects now get their intended size (in inches, not in pixels)
which is fine; some things will become too small, typically some web pages that
for some reason dont follow the preferred text size ("Normal", "Larger", whatever),
but instead use a fixes font size (say 8 pt).
To cope with that, I developed a simple tray tool to temporarily switch screen resolution to a 30% lower value.

Hope this helps.

Smile | :)
