I have a problem with IE 6.0. The native font size of the browser controls is tiny. The size of the font in the address box, under icons, etc. is almost unreadable even with reading glasses. Any idea on how to fix?

Oddly the font size of the menu (File, Edit, View, etc) is normal.

Mind you, I'm not talking about the size of the font on loaded web pages which I can change via view-text size.

Thanks Grady

Sorry, but both suggestion only effect the loaded web page, not the formatting of the browser itself. Thanks Grady

Oops, OK.

On the desktop, right click -> Properties -> Appearance tab -> Font size.

Hope that's it.

That looks like the right place, but I tried every combination (I think) and the font size remains grayed out. Grady
