Changing fonts

I would like to change the font that us used to show files etc in Windows
Explorer. If this is possible which setting do I need to change.

Similarly, I'd like to change the font in Windows Mail but can't find
anything within the program to allow this.

Hi jan,

this is available from the desktop - Right click - choose Personalize - Window color and appearance and clicking on the link at the bottom of the page to the classic appearance options.

This will allow you to change the font for various parts of the User interface.

I will add though that if you are using the Aero interface a lot of these changes may not actually show up as Aero has a lot hard coded into the interface.
