Right click your desktop.Then click properties. Now click
the appearance tab and then the advanced button down the
lower right. You will open a window with all of your
window selections shown one on top of the other. You will
see one of the windows is called "active" you should then
see under that a word like "normal" click on this. You
will see that down below there are two lines "item"
and "font" To the right of these are two little windows.
They are the sizes. The top will make the width of the
menu bar more or less depending on what you want to do and
the one beside the "font" line is the one you want. This
will set the size of the font inside the bar. I have mine
set at 8 but you should start at 12-15. You can also click
the drop down menu beside the "font" line to select the
style of fonts you want. Have fun.
