Rt click the desktop>select properties from the rt. click context
menu>Apparance Tab>Advanced button to get the Advanced Appearance dialogue
box>click the slide up "Item" menu>caption buttons and control the size with
it.
This is exactly the same way as in that antique Windows XP being replaced by
a Rube Goldberged patched up Vista. You use the same display properties
dialogue box with the superficially juiced up name and non intuitive blurred
clarity called "Personalization orthe "personalization interface"
MSFT's Program Managers have once again in sucking up to the Marketing Arm
of MSFT aka "dumb it down man for the stupid public R us" has named the
display properties box "Personalization" in Vista--trying to get a touch
feely "health spa Latte Seattle blend" into the gui.
Talk about "Clear, Confident, and Connected"--these yoyos are Masters of the
Completely Non-Intuitive and a "Nebulous>tentative>disoriented" approach
which should be substituted as the slogan for "Clear Confident and
Connected."

Correction I was thinking of the notification area icons. For the caption
buttons and fonts on them on the taskbar:
User
Key:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
Advanced]
System
Key:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
Advanced]
Value Name: TaskbarGroupSize
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: Number of windows (default = 3)

jmiller--
I've been able to mod everything but the font on the taskbar buttons without
3rd party. You can probably get it done or get it done with a them or style
using Style XP or Object Desktop type apps. I'll continue to work on a task
bar font mod and get back to you if someone else doesn't do it for your
first.

So far I can't nail the font surgically--I can nail everything else. I
strongly urge you to check out Stardocks Object Desktop and Style XP though,
and the hundreds of tweakers and artists who associate offering free themes
to these sites because with them you may be quite happy with the wide range
of styles you can make. I do this because I get board looking at the same
destkop, menus, task bar, start button, ect. and I can change them and
customize them often.
