SYMPTOMS

After you run the Accessibility Wizard, the window control buttons (Minimize, Restore down, Maximize and Close) may become smaller.

CAUSE

This problem can occur if you are running Windows XP Windows and Buttons style. The Accessibility Wizard changes the active title bar size to 18, although the default value for the active title bar size is 25 for the Windows XP Windows and Buttons style. This results in a resizing of the window control buttons.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, after you run the Accessibility Wizard:
  1. Click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Appearance and Themes, and then click Display.
  2. On the Appearance tab, click Advanced.
  3. In the Item box, click Active Title Bar.
  4. In the Size box, click 25.
  5. Click OK, and then click OK.
  6. Restart your computer.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
