Hold down the CTRL key and turn the mouse wheel is the easiest way.

The IE fonts were one of those things you could do when someone who didnt know much about computers bothered you. Shrink the fonts in IE to as small as they go. The other thing was to drag the edge of the autohide taskbar all the way to the bottom of the screen so the taskbar couldnt come up at all.

hahaha. When I worked at Compaq, the phone-tech operators would keep a running count of the resized taskbar calls. They were embarrasingly abundant.

Mmmm, about 80% of the IT staff at my college hated me for that trick.
That and we installed ICQ so we could talk from across the room during class.

I did that when I was in highschool...only I took it a step further. See, they used Novel to manage logins and such...so I took a screenshot of the login prompt and set THAT as the wallpaper....to every single computer in the school.
It was all I could do to contain my laughter when everyone complained about not being able to login.
