Change font in Start Menu?

Howdy,

Got me a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate Retail, its a beaut!

Not a biggie, but I hate that Segoe font, I've changed it to Tahoma (the
best font ever) on most places via the advanced tab in Appearence, but theres
no way to change it in the start menu? Can this be done somewhere in Vista?
Or am I lumbered with Segoe font there?

Any help will be appreciated!

Do a search for "lockergnome vista segoe fontfix". You should find a .reg
file that if merged into the registry would set all the system fonts to
use Segoe UI. You could edit it and change the Segoe UI instances with
Tahoma. Then after merging it into the registry and rebooting, all your
Segoe UIs would be Tahomas, I guess.

Or you could just do the changes in the registry manually in a similar
manner.

I tried it out recently, but I find it incredibly messy.
