Hi!

Anyone know how to change the font in explorer ?

My brother asked me if I now how to do that, but I have actually never
thought about it very much, but cannot find where to do it either.
I myself is running Windows XP Professional in classic mode, but
he is running in XP mode (I guess)...if that make any difference...

I have been trying to find it using Control Panel -> Display -> Appearance tab -> Advanced
but this only give my possibility to change colour of the text, font and size is greyed out
and is not selectable...

Any ideas ?


Regards

/Kenneth

I was referring to Explorer (in Windows).
If I have meant Internet Explorer I would have said so.

But thank's for trying anyway...

Sorry, Control Panel>Display Properties>Appearance>Use the Drop Down menu
called "Font Size".
