Zoom in / out [SOLVED with other programs]

Greets!

Thanx for the fine accumulated Mac emu. info on your sites, forums, guides.

Somewhere read about being able to Zoom in / out, without ZoomBox, but cannot succeed.

e.g.:
1-
Also, if you're running windows use the Windows key and the + or - keys to zoom in and out. This will essentially make Might and Magic (and other Mac games) fullscreen.

Also other sites, though not emulation oriented wrote:

2-
Next to the space bar, there are two keys. There is the command key and the option key.
Hold them both of them down at the same and press the number eight key. Once this is done,
the desktop will be zoomed in. To zoom in even further, press control, command and plus.
Do the same except with the minus key to zoom out. Press option, command and the number 8
to reset the desktop view to normal. Viewing this video will show you a way to assist you
in viewing the desktop on the Mac OSX.
3-
Zoom in: Press the [Ctrl] key and scroll up with the mouse.
Zoom out: Press the [Ctrl] key and scroll down with the mouse
Would hope this feature would also enlarge the tiny fixed sized window, in which some games are trying to run either in OS 7.5.5 or 8.1.
Resolution change / window mode helps a bit, but can it be better?

Thanx for any fine info.
Bye.

EDIT :
Seems, Win 7 already has this built-in "Win and +/-" key zooming, mentioned in e.g.1.
Luckily, for Win XP a program "Desktopzoom" is perfect for my purposes.
