We have a few users that say that their default printer has changed
automatically and the text size in IE has also been changed from normal to
large. Is this possible and what circumstances can cause this? My personal
experience tells me that in most cases the only error is between the chair
and keyboard but I want to look in to this anyway...

I would be intrested to know if similar stuff has happened to someone else
and have you found out the reasons?

We are using WinXP SP2. Users have normal user privileges to their
workstations. We also have MS Office XP, Lotus Notes R6 and some other not
generally known applications. The default printer is not set in users logon
scripts at the moment.


Thanks
-Will

Yepper!

Normally the mouse wheel does the same thing as the Page Up and Page Down
keys. In Internet Explorer and Outlook Express Ctrl + mouse wheel zooms the
Text Size. The same as View | Text Size | Pick a size. Each notch on the
wheel changes to the next Text Size.

I do that by accident all the time. In fact I discovered this by accident
and can't find any documentation on it.

I would imagine that I am not the only one that accidentally does this. ;-)

Don't know about the default printer.

Hope this helps. Let us know.
