Adjust font size in Windows Vista without administrator privileges
Dear all, is there a way to allow limited users to change the default font size within their profile? Using the Adjust Font Size applet requires elevation and our users are not defined as administrators. Thank you, FabrizioWindows Desktop Admin

Thank you for your reply. However I was wondering whether any Group Policy settings or registry tweaks existed to bypass this annoying and (IMHO) useless restriction. In Windows 7 it doesn't seem to be like that... FabrizioWindows Desktop Admin

Hi, It is true that Windows 7 can do this while the non-administrator users cannot Adjust font size (DPI) in Windows Vista. DPI settings are system-wide (many registry keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ need to be modified) and therefore can only be changed with administrative privileges.
