What font is used in Windows Explorer display?

[Guest Rick]

How can I change the font that is displayed in Windows Explorer's file

and folder panes? Thanks much.

Tahoma or Trebuchet MS, but mostly Tahoma.

 

Control Panel\Display\Appearance\Advanced Options\ Select the Element and

change the font.

Thanks -- I can't figure out which element I choose for Windows

Explorer's file and folder listings. I see 18 items to choose from in

the "Item" drop-down list box but none of them seems to pertain to

file/folder displays. Thanks for any help.

Changing the font and font size for desktop icons will accomplish what

you're after. One caveat: Don't select 'bold', as some things such as

'read/unread' in Outlook Express will not be indicated, as everything there

will be bold, even if 'read'.

It should be Tahoma size 8 but just in case you should apply Trebuchet, it

has to be size 10

It can be anything you want it to be. It has to do with personal taste,

readability and even word wrap.

Thanks much. Yeah -- you choose "Icon" from the "Item" pull-down menu.

Right,.. I should have said... "by default; Tahoma 8 Trebuchet 10" that was

my only point,... but yes, you can customize it with any font or size,

though size should be better applied from Settings\Advanced\General..

personalized by PPP.
