My browser does not "remember" its View | Text Size. Each time, when the
browser is loaded, I have to reset the Text Size to smaller from medium.

Is there a fix for it? Many thanks in advance.

Doug,

Open Registry Editor.
Click Start > Run > Regedit.exe

Goto the following key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\International\Scripts\3]
"IEFontSize"=hex:02,00,00,00

Set the IEFontSize values according to ur wish. The legal values for IEFontSize are 01,02,03, and 04 with 1 being the smallest, 4 the largest and 2 being the default medium font.

If the settings are not saved, reply back to the same thread. Do you have a HP computer?

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.

Ramesh;

Thank you for the suggestion. What if I wanted to change it back to larger,
do I need to edit the registry again?

I am not using a HP computer. It is a no-name computer.

Doug,

Editing the registry is just a workaround. You don't need to do it everytime. If the settings are not saved, try settings NoSaveSettings to 0
http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/152/

And, scan the system for malware. Download Ad-Aware from lavasoftusa.com and update it , scan.
