    Hey guys,
    I want to change the default system font in Windows XP to Segoe UI, the one thats going to be used in Windows Vista. I've downloaded the font and installed it into the Fonts folder, I just need to know where to make the change. I think it's a registry key that needs changing but not sure which one and can't find the info on google.
    Cheers

    Not sure exactly what the "system font" is, but you can change all sorts of options in the Advanced Appearance settings. To access, please do the following:

    1. Right-click anywhere on the desktop
    2. Select 'Properties'
    3. Select the 'Appearance' tab
    4. Press the 'Advanced' button

    Here, you can change icon font, title bar fonts, colours, sizes, whatever to suit your taste!
