Explorer font size settings

how can i change the font size on ie6 so that they stay that way?
i'd like to be able to specify the font size (like i can do in firefox and opera) but i'll settle for keeping it at a constant "medium" or "smaller"... or any of the other vague settings of my choice.
can i have different settings for each account?

(i hate ie6).

Seriously, I don't know if you can change the default font size in IE. I think it depends on the default font size you set for Windows content, so you can't change IE separately.

i don't use it.
this info is for my girlfriend who is using her dad's computer.
i told her to set up her own user account so she doesn't have all his crap on the desktop and so she can customize her own settings.

i'd rather not have her install software on it so she's stuck with ie6.

IE > Internet Options > General Tab > Accessibility button > you can check mark any or all of the boxes. The one that specifically addresses your query is for Ignoring font sizes specified on Web pages
Then set the default size you want.
