windows xp my computer detail view - increase font size

Hi,
I generally use detail view in my computer for viewing my files. But, the font size of filename is very small in size so it generally hurts my eyes when searching a particular file quickly.

I want to know that how can I increase the size of font in detail view in my computer for viewing files ?

You can do this but it will also change the size of the font used to display icons on your desktop since the same setting is used for both things.
  1. In control panel go to display (or right click on your desktop and select properties).
  2. Select the "Appearance" tab
  3. Press the "Advanced" button
  4. In the "Item" drop down list select "Icon"
  5. Adjust the font/font size
  6. Press "OK"
  7. Press "Apply" or "OK"

Thanks for your answer.
I already know about Appearance Option it works as you mentioned.
However, I need actual solution in my computer windows.

I am also searching about this at my level.
If any, then please tell me about this.

What about using a lower resolution?

That too may work, but it will disturb the display of other windows as well.

I usually work with multiple software windows and folders in this case it will not be practical to change the resolution frequently while using alt+tab key.
