This little problem has been driving me crazy for years and I cannot figure it out.

Does anyone know how to change the size on the displayed fonts of your programs when going too: Start Button / All Programs?

The system here is Windows XP/SP2. Is this a Registry Value? Would like to change them to Arial Font size 11. Can someone help with this one. A hint, no-one ELSE seems to have the answer.

I don't think you can change that idependently of changing ALL of your system fonts. Hi GX1_Man:


Tried changing fonts from within desktop/properties but it not accomplish this TASK. I did get some relief using the “larger icon” feature.

Quite a while ago I did accomplish this task but of course, I was smart enough NOT to write down exactly how I did it and so I am lost now. I do believe that this has something to do with a Registry value but HONESTLY cannot remember.

Ok. Here's another way to change most of the fonts...

Right click on your desktop, click properties, the appearance, then you have two options:
Choose between LARGE and SMALL font (in the "Font Size" box), or click ADVANCED.

In Advanced:
Choose the ITEM you want to change the font size of
(Some items have uneditable fonts!)
And then (if your still with these directions) choose the font size, then click OK at the bottom, the click APPLY.
Your changes will be seen immediately.
Please don't select a particularly large font size (like 72) that will take up WAY too much space.
