default window font has changed to bold

[Guest]

all of a sudden my default window font has changed to bold in most places and
italics in some places, this has permeated through many windows programs.
(Example On my desktop, the labels for all of my icons are now bold.) This is
strange because I did not adjust any of the settings.

My guess was to go control panel >display > advanced but no luck

Pleae advise

Right click Desktop | Properties | Appearance tab | Advanced button |
Click the V Under Item: to expand the menu |
Window elements menu:
3D Objects
Active Title Bar
Active Window Border
Application Background
Caption Buttons
Desktop
Icon
Icon Spacing (Horizontal)
Icon Spacing (Vertical)
Inactive Title Bar
Inactive Window Border
Menu
Message Box
Palette Title
Selected Items
ToolTip
Window

Highlight each item one at a time, with anything that has a text option look
at the B (*BOLD*) and I (/Italic/) buttons if they are Pushed In (activated)
click them to NOT have them apply.

These SHOULD have the Bold button active:
Active Title Bar
Inactive Title Bar
Palette Title

(Example On my desktop, the labels for all of my icons are now
bold.)

That would Icon on the list above.

I just set Icon to Bold and Applied it and it did just what you described.
