Notice the drop-down arrow to the right of the Item window. Click that
drop-down arrow to get lots of choices, including the font size for your
menus. Make one change at a time and see if you like it. Once things are
the way you want them, OK/Apply/OK.

This does not work, the Menu item is set at Calibri 13 points and the menus
in programs look ok but not in Start>Programs - they appear at what looks
like 8 points Calibri.

This is quite a new installation of the OS (XP Pro), just a few days old.
No Icon editing tools or utilities have been used on this machine.
I had used a website to create some icons for a website I had designed on my
old computer and this site is now on the new machine and has been publised
from the new machine.
