Quick display question

I'd like to change the font size of the icon names, or possibly bold it. Is this possible? My current resolution and cheap monitor causes the fonts to appear to small.

Thanks,

Try looking in the Display Properties in the settings tab and then click on advanced. I just found out my GeForce 4 MX card lets me display things at larger fonts.

Right click on the desktop and choose Properties, click on the Appearance tab and then look for Icon in the Item drop down menu, when Icon is selected, you can change the size of the Font.

. . . and in the same place the Cricket mentions for increasing the size of the icon text, you can increase the font size for any other items in that drop-down list, too. You just need to select each one, then go down to the Font size box to make your change. (you can change which font in there, too, and whether bold, normal, or italic [I think, it's been awhile since I looked])
