Change large fonts back to small fonts

[ms]

To view a document, I went to Control Panel/Display/Settings/Advanced, and
changed to Large Fonts.

I want to change back, selected Small Fonts, but the grey screen for this
extends beyond the bottom of my display. I selected restart to take effect,
but there must be a Apply button at the bottom of the screen that I can't
see. Restart does not change it.

So I can't change back the usual way.

Is there a registry key I can change, or some other way to change fonts?

I've seen this before too. Couple of things you can try:

- drag that window as high as possible (probably won't do it alone)

- put your cursor at the top edge of the lower menu bar (of the desktop)
until the double arrow appears and then left-click and drag it down till
it closes. That may give you just enough room to get to the elusive buttons.

- restore the lower menu bar by placing the cursor at the bottom of the
screen (double arrow), left-click and drag up.

With the focus in that window, hold down the Alt key and press the
spacebar. A small box should pop up in the top left corenr containing the
options Move and Close. Select Move. Your cursore will become a pair of
crossed arrows. Use your cursor keys to move the window until you can see
the part you need. Press enter.

No, it does not move by itself, can't get to top or bottom to drag it.

- put your cursor at the top edge of the lower menu bar (of the
desktop) until the double arrow appears and then left-click and drag
it down till it closes. That may give you just enough room to get to
the elusive buttons.

No, it does not give enough room still to see the bottom of the screen.

Thanks anyway

Yes, and in parts of the screen it even said Size, but saw no effect.

Select Move. Your cursore will become a

Yes, actually selecting M worked best, I could move the screen up to the
very top border, but that still does not expose the bottom buttons.

I have a 17" display, didn't think this would be an issue.

Is there any other method? Seems like registry would effect this?

Thanks to all. Resizing the screen resolution did it, back to small fonts.
