    Hello,
    I am trying to make my parents computer a little bit easier to use, so I made the desktop icons bigger and the text bigger using the following tutorial:
    Changing the Font for Icon Text

    but it makes the start menu text also quite large which looks silly. is there a way to make the desktop text big and not the start menu text?

    thanks

    I was messing around with this and did find a way to do it.
    If you are using the default aero theme I can change that for you. It would be a custom theme then and You will need to do 1 of these 2 ways of Enabling custom themes for it to work. I can post it in a zip folder here. Give me the size of font you want for the icons and give me a size of font you want for the start menu.
