    is there anyway to unbold everything on vista (icons, taskbar, folders, firefox etc). back to just the standard normal font like on XP?

    also how do i change the space between the icons on my desktop?

    Icon spacing is at Control Panel > Display > Appearance > Advance > Items and there there's a drop down option for horizontal and vertical item spacing.

    Control Panel >> Personalization >> Window Color and Appearance >> Open classic appearance properties for more color options >> Advanced >> Item (drop-down menu) choose your icon spacings...

    thank you very much. i also found in there how to unbold everything (it was actually just the specific font) although i couldn't change the taskbar settings. is there a way to change the font on the taskbar?

    also do you know what the standard font is on XP? i can't remember what it was but i liked it.
