customizing fonts in Password Hint balloon
How does one customize the font size/type in the Password Hint balloon
associated with the Windows XP User Account password on the Welcome window? The little balloon has a tan background and a tiny black font by default and a liitle 'i' symbol inside it. One clicks on the little blue button w/ white question mark to reveal the message inside the balloon. PS: I once did this accidentally while fooling around in the control panel, but don't remember exactly what I did to make the Password Hint text font get LARGE!! -- Jon Bailey |
