How do I change the font size in Windows XP without enlarging Quick launch icons…etc?

June 24th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Hello all,

I know how to change the font size through both the Appearance and Settings tabs of Display Properties, but either method results in lower resolution of icons and buttons…etc.

The resolution of the quicklaunch icons in my task bar, the "go back" and "go forward" buttons in I.E. 7 seem to all want to change resolution when I simply only want the font size to change.

Is there any way I can change the font size in Windows XP without changing the resolution of the quicklaunch, start, "go back" and "go forward" elements of the GUI?

Thanks very much :D @ HolisterGirl; I said without changing the resolution… thanks for the answer anyway ;P

      I don't think you can do that because when you change the resolution, everything changes.

      But if you want to change the size of the words when you get on the internet:

      Get on the internet

      Click on 'View'.

      Click text size.

      And click the largest.

      Hope that helps! =]
