I've been using Microsoft Paint for a project I've been working on many years. I started to work on the project for the first time in almost two years and I've noticed, despite using the same font, size and settings the text I create is anti-aliased.

I'm using MS Paint 6.0.

EDIT: I changed my NVidia Driver Settings to this, but it's not working

Update: I managed to fix this by turning of cleartype, however webpages now look worse.

By default Windows 7 Paint applies Anti Aliasing to everything font related.... woop-de-do! But there is a way to turn this off via a little setting aptly named Smooth Edge.

Open up Advanced System Settings (Right click my computer, properties, then on the left hand side, Advanced Properties).

On the Advanced Tab -> Under Performance, click Settings -> under Visual Effects there is a check box for Smooth edges of screen fonts. That is the only way you can deactivate the AA in Paint, but this is a global setting, so all fonts everywhere won't be Anti-Aliased or 'Smooth Edged'.
