Another Font error...
See that ugly, black, old, disgusting font displayed there?
I want to change it to something slightly nicer, such as "arial". I've tried doing this from Display > Advanced, yet it stays as this default windows font. It's nothing to do with my windows style - I can change it from default to a completely different one, yet it stays the same font (  )
I've tried Microsoft's TweakUI, to no success either
How do I change this before it annoys me to the extent of reinstalling windows?!
Thanks,
LBA

Re: Another Font error...
Which font setting did you change? I've read it's the font for desktop icons that you need to change to affect windows explorer.
From
google groups

I recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop. I'd REALLY like to change
the font of the list of files (and even the folder names on the left side)
in Windows Explorer in Details mode. Does anyone know where I can change
this font? I'm guessing it is some setting in the Display applet, but I
can't seem to find it.
Thanks in advance,
Ben

Hi Ben,
This will change most of them. Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this
key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes
In the right pane, change the Font Name for: MS Shell Dlg and MS Shell
Dlg2.
Then right click the Desktop/Properties/Appearance/Advanced/
Icon and set the same Font Name there. Ok your way out, then reboot.

Not really an error, per se, is it?

Re: Another Font error...
Tisn't downloaded software! It just appeared there, again...
It's also not a problem with the software -
That's winamp.
Thanks Paul - I'll try that and get back to you
