Right click your desktop then choose "Personalize" then click on "Adjust font size (DPI)".

Hey Hawks when you get some time mate, check out this link for some nice info. Might be good when you get a beer to sit back and read about vista, tons of stuff in it you might not find. This link is not really that indepth as I dont want to bombard you with links and info but check this one out. and after you are done, go onto google and key in something like "vista tips" or "vista tricks and tips". you will get a lot of info from searching about.

Obviously we are here to help to, but its good to read up on stuff in your own downtime

FWIW, ctrl+mousewheel is almost a universal shortcut for increasing/decreasing the size of icons and text, works for most Vista icons, and text/pictures in major browsers.

I've found it most useful for 70 year olds who want stuff bigger, but it's still handy to know.
