Change Font Size (Win XP):



Customize individual Windows elements by using Advanced settings

You can use the advanced settings to customize the font, size, or colors of individual Windows elements. Follow these steps to do this:

Step 1: Open the Advanced Appearance dialog box

To open the Advanced Appearance dialog box, follow these steps:



1. Right-click an empty area of your desktop, and then click Properties.

2. Click the Appearance tab, and then click Advanced.



Step 2: Customize the font, size, or color of individual Windows elements

From the Advanced Appearance window, you can customize the font, size, or colors of individual Window elements. To do this, follow these steps:



1. In the Item list or in the preview window, click the Window element that you want to change. When you click the image of the item that you want to change in the preview window, the corresponding item is automatically selected from the drop-down list.



Note If you select Window in the Item box, and then modify the font color for that item, the font color that is used in many other programs is also modified. Any documents that use the automatic font color are affected if you change this setting. Many programs, including WordPad and Microsoft Word, use the same default font color. Any new documents that you create in these programs use the new font color that you select for the Window item.

2. Use any of following sections to customize Windows items to achieve the look that you want.



Note Not all options for all Window elements are available. For example, the Font option appears to be dimmed and is unavailable for elements in the Item list that do not display text.



To customize item size and color:

1. In the Size box, specify the size that you want to use for the item.

2. In the Color box, specify the color that you want to use for the item.

To customize item fonts:

1. Click the font that you want to use for the item.

2. In the Size box, specify the font size.

3. In the Color box, specify the color that you want.

4. To apply a bold font, click B. To italicize the font, click I.

As you modify items, you can preview their appearance in the preview window.



Note You must use the same font, size and color for the Active Title Bar and Inactive Title Bar items. Any changes that you made to either item are applied to both items.

3. When you are finished making changes, click OK two times to save your settings.



To use a different default font color in programs that use automatic as the default font color, you may be able to create a template that uses the font color that you want as the default font color, and then use that template instead of the default template. For information about how to do this, view the documentation that is included with the program, or contact the program manufacturer

Answer 2

is everything small. Might be the display settings. Right click on the desktop off to the side. Click on Properties, click on Appearance and make the numbers smaller in resolution to something like 800 x 600
