Scrollbars

[kburra]

As more and more people purchase new computers,often with high resolution screens, they find that the side scroll bars appear to be very narrow and difficult to arrow up and down (especially seniors) I have also noticed this observation with touch pad users on the newer laptops, well if you follow this tip you can change all that and make them wider. Once mastered you will also notice there are a myriad of adjustments you can make in this menu....I have added some screen shots below to help you
