Bold fonts in WinXP. How to get rid of them?

[Guest]

Well, I was just uninstalling a trial edition of WindowBlinds and when my
computer rebooted some fonts, such as icon names, message box names, and a
bunch of others were bold faced. I tried resotring the theme, changing the
Advanced properties of the style. I just can't get them to go back to
regular? Any suggestions on how to return them to normal?

Try this.

1. Right click the Desktop.
2. Select Properties.
3. Click the Appearance tab.
4. Click the Advanced button.
5. Click the V next to Item to display the list then click each of these
items one at a time:
Active Title Bar (This one should be BOLD)
Icon (This one should be NOT be BOLD)
Inactive Title Bar (This one should be BOLD)
Menu (This one should be NOT be BOLD)
Message Box (This one should be NOT be BOLD)
Palette Title (This one should be BOLD)
Selected Items (This one should be NOT be BOLD)
ToolTip (This one should be NOT be BOLD)

5. The B button is for BOLD font. To the right of Font look for the B
button pressed in and selected. If it is, click on it to apply as regular
font.

6. When you are finished making the changes that you want, click OK twice to
save your settings.

If you select a windows and buttons setting other than Windows Classic, it
will override the above settings, except in some older programs.

Note: In order to fully use this feature you must have your Windows and
buttons setting on Windows Classic.
