Best Answer

Text can get smaller for two reasons:

1.) You are decreasing the size of text.

2.) You are increasing the resolution.

Increasing the resolution increases your desktop space however it sacrifices the size of objects and text.

Text can be increased/decreased by going to screen settings (it is different depending on your OS), and go into advanced appearance options in Windows Vista and/or Windows Seven.

If you are talking about the size of everything on the screen, the resolution was probably increased. If you lower it again the icons and all that will get bigger again.
