How to Draw Thick Lines on MS Paint

Windows 7 comes packaged with a basic graphics editor, called MS Paint. This small program offers several rudimentary tools for creating graphics, such as shapes and lines. By default, Paint creates thin lines when you use the line tool. However, you can have the option of increasing the line thickness by adjusting the stroke size. Paint offers four line thicknesses in total.
