    I was looking in the accessibility wizard and accidently changed a few things, so I hit cancel and selected no, which is supposed to not save any changes. However, ever since that the top of my windows is much small than usual. I have tried going back into the accessibility wizard and messing with it to get it back to normal, but it never changes. Any ideas?

    This isn't what you messed with but you might have a look and see. Right click on your desktop>properties>appearance tab. Click the advanced button and then where it says items, select "active title bar ". Next to that where it says size you can change the size of it. Mine's set to 20 but I don't know if that's the default or not. Seems to me I might have changed it in the past. Anyway, you can try increasing the size of it there and see what happens. If your's is 20, try 25 and see if it's what you want. You might also have to do this with the "inactive title bar" if you want it to be the same.

    Anybody know what the defaults are here? If so, it would be appreciated if you'd post them here.

    I did that and nothing happened, so I copied the exact settings from another computer that has the correct settings and ran into a problem. The top of windows is now the correct size, but the task bar at the bottom is now way too big.

    Ok I figured it out. I had to go to the appearence tab and change the font size to large, apply, then change it back to normal and apply. Thank you for your help!
