text size

[hippo]

On IE6, the View->Text Size setting keeps changing back to Medium. When the
text size is set to Smaller and exit out of IE6, subsequent starts of IE6
sometimes has the text size set to Medium. Seem to be quite random.

Close all browser windows
Open Registry Editor.
click start > run > regedit.exe

goto the following key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\International\Scripts\3]
"IEFontSize"=hex:02,00,00,00

Set the IEFontSize values according to ur wish. The legal values for
IEFontSize are 01,02,03, and 04 with 1 being the smallest, 4 the largest and
2 being the default medium font.

Thanks for your response.

I checked the registry setting and it's currently set to 01 (smaller) but I
occassionally get IE6 starting up with medium text size.

This problem is seen with a kind of malware BHO installed with the browser.

To test this, try disabling third-party browser extensions:

1. Close all instances of Internet Explorer
2. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
3. Double-click Internet Options.
4. Click the Advanced tab.
5. Under Browsing, click to clear the Enable third-party browser extensions
(requires restart) check box.
6. Restart Internet Explorer.

Check the behaviour now. If the problem is resolved, identify the malware
using BHODemon and remove it.
