Sorry, I can't help you this time because I replaced Notepad with
Metapad. I was able to help last time because I had a working copy
in win98 and the point size reg key is the same for both OS's. Not
the case for this round.
You could test it yourself. Export the whole "Notepad" key so you
have a backup. Open one of the keys your wondering about and make a
change. Hit "F5" key to refresh the registry. (F5 is the same as
rebooting) Open Notepad and look for what's different. Close it out
and try something else. When you're done tinkering you can import
your backup. Don't worry about crashing your OS because you can't
if you're only working within Notepad. This way, you might be able
to figure out what you want.

before

and
