Windows 10: Changing font screwed up stuff

I changed my font to cambria, but now my window titlebars are huge and my file explorer is all screwed up. This is really annoying, and i cant just change the font back as i cant make .reg files anymore, due to the font changing the size of all of file explorer's buttons.
