I know how to change the size of the font for reading and writing
messages, but I don't know how to change the font size in the upper
"Messages" area. They all seem to be about an 8 and that's too small
for me. I've looked at options but don't seem to have found the
answer. TIA, Eleanor

Right click a blank spot on your desktop and click Properties | Appearance |
Advanced.
Click the down arrow for the Item field and choose icon. Make your
changes. Windows will use this size and font in all sorts of places and so
will some other programs.
