JSI Tip 10096. How can I change the default font that NOTEPAD.EXE uses for all the users in my domain?.

The NOTEPAD.EXE configuration entries are located in the user hive of the registry at softwaremicrosoftotepad. If I run reg QUERY HKCUsoftwaremicrosoftotepad on my Windows XP workstation, I receive:

! REG.EXE VERSION 3.0HKEY_CURRENT_USERsoftwaremicrosoftotepad    lfEscapement        REG_DWORD       0x0    lfOrientation       REG_DWORD       0x0    lfWeight    REG_DWORD       0x190    lfItalic    REG_DWORD       0x0    lfUnderline REG_DWORD       0x0    lfStrikeOut REG_DWORD       0x0    lfCharSet   REG_DWORD       0x0    lfOutPrecision      REG_DWORD       0x3    lfClipPrecision     REG_DWORD       0x2    lfQuality   REG_DWORD       0x1    lfPitchAndFamily    REG_DWORD       0x31    iPointSize  REG_DWORD       0x6e    fWrap       REG_DWORD       0x0    StatusBar   REG_DWORD       0x0    fSaveWindowPositions        REG_DWORD       0x0    lfFaceName  REG_SZ  Lucida Console    szHeader    REG_SZ  &f    szTrailer   REG_SZ  Page &p    iMarginTop  REG_DWORD       0x3e8    iMarginBottom       REG_DWORD       0x3e8    iMarginLeft REG_DWORD       0x2ee    iMarginRight        REG_DWORD       0x2ee    fMLE_is_broken      REG_DWORD       0x0    iWindowPosX REG_DWORD       0x9c    iWindowPosY REG_DWORD       0xb    iWindowPosDX        REG_DWORD       0x596    iWindowPosDY        REG_DWORD       0x453

To set the lfFaceName data value to Verdana, you can use a logon script or you can use PolicyMaker™ Registry Extension freeware.
