1. I am long time user of Windows OS and am using Windows XP prof with SP3
2. I am the Administrator and sole user of computer - there are no other users.
3. I can easily instal any new softaware and download files etc.
4. I had never done Registry update using RegEdit.exe
I want to make a simple change in Windows registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\MenuFont
I want to change the value F5 in key to F4 - Very easy (related to font size)
I saved it as a .reg file - very easy
When I came out and double click on the .reg file, regedit executes, gives me the warning, but the Menu font does not change.
If I go into Control panel/Display/Appearances/Menu and change font size if works.
Next I tried something even simpler.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors\MenuText
The value showing was 0 0 0 , which is for black.
Previously I had tried out red which shows up as 255 0 0 using manul Deplay/menu method and it wos changing between black (0 0 0) and Red (255 0 0).
However, when I save after editing into a .reg file, the file shows the change has occurred and save properly, but executing the .reg file does not change the MenuText to red.
I need this so that I can change the MenuText font size and colors programaticlly for the End-user, so he does not go into his control panel.
Many thanks in advance for any help.
