I'm still playing around with this myself.  I've found if you go into SkinStudio7, choose change skin fonts-->go to the drop down menu and choose show me the skin defined system fonts and play around with the sizes that will change some of the fonts, but you might have to reboot in order to see all the places that are changed.

it would be better for me if I could just find the exact location it is at.  that is the only font I need to blow up and that is due to sight issues that i have

OH!  I think I might know what you could do.  If you open up Windowblinds 7, down at the bottom there is a Fonts tab -- you can choose what font you want, and you can make it bigger or smaller. Or, to change the Windows 7 font, system wide, you can follow the instructions in this article:  http://mintywhite.com/windows-7/7customization/windows-seven-7-increase-screen-font-size-how-to/

I do not want to blow up all the fonts at once just this one  I do not want to blow them all up just the one for the desktop icons font

OK, I think I understand what you're asking better now. 

I found these instructions and it worked on my computer, which is Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit.

I tried that already saved it when I restarted the computer it went back to the old font  I need to know where it is when I use SKINSTUDIO.   I have seen it when people have made there skins change it and I want to do the same.
