I wanted the text under my icons to show up better so I went and adjusted
some of the choices in "advanced".
NOW, all of the text in my OE is BOLD and will not change when the item is
read, apparently I made one bad choice and now I can't find the adjustment
to fix it.
It appears that the same adjustment that makes the text bold under my
desktop icons is the same one that makes all of the Header posts BOLD in OE.
I did this once before a few years ago but don't remember the fix. Please
help???

Thanx

1. Right-click Desktop and Choose Properties.
2. Click Appearance tab and then click Advanced button.
3. Under Item choose "Icon". Default settings are Icon Size = 32. Default
Font = Tahoma. Font Size = 8. Turn Off Bold and Italic.

Hope this is what you are looking for. Otherwise, in Display Properties
click the Theme tab and choose Windows XP theme and apply the changes.

Hope this help, let us know!

Extending Taskbar in 2 Rows can be useful, if you want to see Date along
with Time.

That fixed it Raj, thank you. It was the "icon" setting in Advanced. I must
remember this for next time ;-))
