Changing default text size in Internet Explorer 

If you have a 1600x1200 laptop monitor, like me, you're probably sick of having to readjust
the text size in IE every time you open the browser.

With this little tweak, you'll have the default text size adjusted just the way you want it.

(Some programs, like Eudora 5.1, actually change this setting without your knowledge, leaving you squinting.)

To do it, you'll have to edit the registry.

1) First of all, save your registry if you haven't done so already.

2) Open up the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\International\Scripts\IEFontSize.

3) Change the REG_BINARY value from 01 00 00 00 ("small" text size) to 02 00 00 00 for medium (which is what I have)
or to whatever you want(see below).

4) Open up IE to see if it looks the way you want it, and if so, voila. If not:

4) go back to step 2 --or-- restore your original registry settings.

Just in case, here are the keys to try for the text size you want:

00 00 00 00 = smallest
01 00 00 00 = small
02 00 00 00 = medium
03 00 00 00 = large
04 00 00 00 = largest

Happy surfing!
cheers!!
