There is no way to determine what user properties were set from a given date to another date. You can get/set the _current_ state of "font smoothing" using the SystemParametersInfo() API function with the SPI_GETFONTSMOOTHING/SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHING option. Also, be sure to check out the additional settings for XP: SPI_GETFONTSMOOTHINGCONTRAST SPI_GETFONTSMOOTHINGTYPE SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHINGCONTRAST SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHINGTYPE -- Thomas Hruska ------------------------ Yahoo!
