Fix Adobe After Effects small font on menus or other windows apps with tiny fonts

See below reg file, use when font on UI is too small to read even though DPI is at normal level (100% or 125%)


1) Tell windows to prefer an external manifest file

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide]
"PreferExternalManifest"=dword:00000001

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) Create and place the external manifest files

and then add this to program.manifest in PF dir of Adobe After Effects (or said app)
