97. Clear Type Fonts Right From the Log-in Window.

I have already discussed this tip during the last issue. But I realized that the clear type will be
activated only after the user logs in. To activate the clear type right from the windows log-in
screen you have to do a registry hack in two different areas. Let us start with one area. Open
the registry editor and navigate to the following key first.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Desktop. Now on the right window pane try to
find the string key titled FontSmoothing. Change it’s value to 2. Now find another DWORD
key FontSmoothingType and set its value to 2. This section is over. Now move to the other.

Navigate to the registry key HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop. Find the
string key titled FontSmoothing and set its value to 2 as we did before. Now find the other
DWORD key FontSmoothingType and set its value to 2. Now reboot the computer.
