I'm slowly catching up on blog posts (amazing how 7000 entries will go by when you're out of the country for a month!) and I'm noticing that Omar got his Toshiba M200, and as I also own one, I checked out his post.

The M200 (and M205) has the distinction of having a ridiculously high-resolution (1400x1060) display on a very small screen (12").  Since I've been laser'ed, you might thing I run small fonts.  Oh, no!  If you know me, you know I'm ALL about the giant fonts. 

I noticed in Omar's recent post, a pointer to this secret registry key that makes Internet Explorer prettier on high-resolution displays.  I haven't decided if I like it better yet, but I'm going to run it for a few week and see how I feel.

Add the UseHR Registry Entry

The UseHR value is added to the Main key under "Internet Explorer" as follows:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER

Software

Microsoft

Internet Explorer

Main

UseHR= dword:00000001
