I am just trying to reduce the size of the font in the XP programs list. Is
it possible? And how?

Start button ---> Programs ----> Program list

Thanks... I have been trying all day!

Right click on desktop
Properties
Appearance
Advanced

Select Menu in the drop-down list, and change the font as you like.

Caution: It will also affect the menu bars in programs. I don't know
of a way to change one without changing the other.

Thanks for that Stan, but it seems to have no effect on changing the font
size of the programs list menu. I wonder if this can be adjusted?

No matter what size I set this setting to, the font size of the lit of
programs remains the same (too big).

If anyone else can suggest the cure, I would appreciate it.

Thanks
Tony

Did the change "take"? Did you click OK in the Advanced panel and
then Apply of the Appearance panel? If the change took, you should
see your program menus change size too -- at least that's how it
worked when I tried it.
