On Win XP, when you right click on My Computer > Properties > Appearance Tab > Advanced, you can change many things such as Message Box, Select and Normal, Icon spacing and size, Text size for Icons, font and font size, bold or not, etc.

Where on Win 7 can I find these properties so I can change them? I found it yesterday by accident and now I can't remember where.

Am I clear on what I am talking about?

Thanks!

Try this:
Right click on your desktop screen in an empty space.
Personaliz>Window Colour Custom>Advanced appearance settings...
You should know your way from there

I am just the same as you.
Find something, tweak it, and forget where I've been, ha ha.
I actually have a paper notebook now and write things down.
If only I could read my writing it would be great
