Font Size Problem

For some reason my internet explorer (ver. 6) always displays the font
larger now. I didn't change any settings to get it this way, it just
happened. I found a setting in the advanced display panel that has an
option for large or small fonts and i selected small, but it didn't change
anything. I also found something that uninstalls your newest version of IE.
When I did that it took me back to explorer 5.5 and it was still big, so I
downloaded the version 6 update again, so I'm back to 6 now. It's really
frustrating and I'm out of ideas besides formatting my hard drive and
re-installing windows which is not really an option at this point because I
can't find my CD. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Did you try IE>view>text size?

How do you create a new default? So that you don't have to
change it every stinkin' time you open the browser?

It should stick at the last size.
If IE-View-Text Size does not stick....

---solution 1
If you are using Eudora 4.2 or greater then use Tools-Options-Viewing
Mail and uncheck "Use Microsoft's viewer"
It is Eudora that is setting the IE text size and unchecking that
option will stop it.

The key that Eudora 4.x will change is this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\International\Scripts\3]
"IEFontSize"=hex:02,00,00,00

---solution 2
In Outlook 2000 go to Tools/Options/Mail Format/Fonts/International
Fonts, and for each font
change the "Font Size" entry to your desired size.
