WeaponX 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2006 Hi, I was helping someone out and played around with the Accessibility options and now got myself into a minor issue. The fonts on my screen are spaced out a lot and it's really bugging me. How do I undo this feature? The last thing I did was go to the Accessibility Wizard. I tried undoing it by going back and selecting the smaller font size, but still no go...My title bars look like they have shrunk a little too...I tried doing a system restore, but apparently it was turned off due to the small space I have left on my HDD last time (forgot to enable it back ).Thanks...

wutske 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2006 I'm not shure (never played w/ accesibilty options before), but try changing the windows theme back to default Lula or 9x style.Apart from this I can't help you because I don't have accesibility options installed.

WeaponX 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 Everything is fine now...I got it sorted out. I have no idea why this worked, but I killed explorer.exe and then launched that process again and it seems to have restored my settings back I restarted and shutdown already before I did this and none of it helped...I guess it's just one of those strange ways Windows works.

vizskywalker 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2006 Ah wepaon fell into the ooh, more toys to play with windows trap! Actually, I have two things for your consideration.1) Why killing explorer worked.Explorer is the process, program, task, whatever, that runs all of the display that windows uses, from program windows to the desktop to the taskbar. It is also responsible for the user interaction with system devices. It is one of the few processes that never really dies when you shut down the computer. Instead, it's state gets saved (ever wonder why windows has to save your settings everytime you shut down?). When you kill it, it reverts to it's defaults. The accessibility stuff are options you can set in explorer. When you shut down, that status is saved, but when you kill the process, the default is brought back.2) How to manually disbale accesibility. This is the biggest pain Windows have. Although the Acessibility Wizard has some features that are overly complex to disable (one used to require a registry change, not sure if it still does in XP) , most can be disbale by simply turining off the accesibility features by going Start->Control Panel->Accesibility Options and hten either dechecking everything or going to the tab that says general and setting the automatic reset to a low number of minutes and letting your computer sit without touching it for that long.~Viz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
