What in the heck did they do to this forum? Why did they enlarge the font? Now I have to scroll right to see everthing. Please change it back!:(

yea it's unfortunate, but in order to correct the problem, you need to boot into a DOS prompt and type:

format /c:

that should get your fonts back...

(actually, everything is the same and has been since i registered here on 3 of my computers...it's just you)

Your font problem is likely due to a change in you browser. Try the "View" menu, and set the TEXT SIZE to something smaller.

DO NOT TYPE "FORMAT /C:" at a DOS prompt. That is particularly bad advice.

Hold down CTRL and Scroll Up/Down it will change the fonts layout of your IE browser.

Pressing F5 will refresh your page... if you want to do that instead of clicking on refresh.

I like to surf with F11 on. (really, not kidding, try it). If you don't like it, push F11 again and it will go back to the way it was before.

No one will do it because of your "format C" joke, but it does clean up the window a lot.

you mean the full screen hotkey? i use these the most:

Windows key + E the most - it's a hotkey for Windows Explorer
Windows key + D - desktop and back
Windows key + M - minimize all (same as above but wont' return to original)
Windows key + Pause/Break - System properties
Alt + F4 - close foreground window
Ctrl + A - select all
F5 - refresh
Ctrl + F - find

there're literally hundreds of hotkeys and you can even program your own...there should be one page that lists them all but i've never run across one
