Is it possible to change the default windows text font (For folder name and details listing below the default minimum)?
1 Answer
Yes, you can do this with a Registry tweak. Navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics
The IconFont
value determines the font face and size for most text. The first four bytes store the size. By default, it's 9 (the binary inverse of the sum of 2 and F4 FF FF FF
). The bigger those bytes, the smaller the font size. For example, to make the font size be 4, replace F4
with F9
by positioning your cursor before F9
, pressing Delete, and typing F4
. Log off and back on for the changes to take effect. You can get very tiny text:
The other values in that key have the same format. For more information on the various values, see my other answer about this key.
