Guest Rick Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 How can I change the font that is displayed in Windows Explorer's file and folder panes? Thanks much.
Guest Ronaldo Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Re: What font is used in Windows Explorer display? Tahoma or Trebuchet MS, but mostly Tahoma. Control Panel\Display\Appearance\Advanced Options\ Select the Element and change the font. ------------------------------------------------- "Rick" <news-user@invalid.com> escribió en el mensaje news:MPG.237267cb7b35bf09899ee@msnews.microsoft.com... > How can I change the font that is displayed in Windows Explorer's file > and folder panes?

Guest Rick Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Re: What font is used in Windows Explorer display? 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'. Joe Arnold
Guest Ronaldo Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Re: What font is used in Windows Explorer display? It should be Tahoma size 8 but just in case you should apply Trebuchet, it has to be size 10 ---------------------------------------------- "Rick" <news-user@invalid.com> escribió en el mensaje news:MPG.237282e82375fc929899ef@msnews.microsoft.com...

It has to do with personal taste, readability and even word wrap.
Guest Rick Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Re: What font is used in Windows Explorer display? Thanks much. Yeah -- you choose "Icon" from the "Item" pull-down menu.

Guest Ronaldo Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Re: What font is used in Windows Explorer display? 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. ---------------------------------- "PanHandler" <Boon@digital.net> escribió en el mensaje news:iniOk.53234$XT1.30404@bignews5.bellsouth.net... > > "Ronaldo" <private_email5@hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:efGPVQkOJHA.4256@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >> 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.
