Hey you smart people out there...

how do you change the default font for windows xp home? im
talking about the fonts used for things like the titles of
destop icons and all the text in the start menu and
windows explorer and stuff like that...any ideas...thanks.
 
Changing the default font for titles and icons can lead to completely
unreadable text..
 
some are not changeable.....but
----this is it--------------------------
start
control panel
display
appearance tab
advanced button
item: scroll box
change fonts/sizes in desired entry
----then do this--------------------------
theme tab
theme: (modified) pick [save as] button
enter file name (ex: mydesktop.theme)
do not lose this file or everything will go back.
