[FONT="]Hi all, [/FONT]
[FONT="]I had a quick question about altering fonts in Windows 7 I was hoping someone could give me a hand with. I have a touch of OCD when it comes to consistency and am having trouble changing the system fonts globally on my machine. I have changed 80% or so of them through the registry entry (found here):
[/FONT]
[FONT="]
The only issue I’m having is that the font is not adjusted in a few other places. For example, if I right-click on a file and look at the properties window, the font is still the default system font.
I’ve changed both the registry entry and the window fonts under “Personalization” to what I want but can’t seem to figure out how to change this font. [/FONT][FONT="]I’d be eternally (or close to it) grateful to anyone who knows how to alter this font.[/FONT]
