I wish to move my Fonts Folder (complete with its special functionality) from ...\Windows\Fonts to G\...\Fonts.
I have tried changing all registry entries to the new location without the desired result. Any suggestions?
Have you tried to copy what the fonts folder contained and paste it inside the G:'s font folder? Want A Weekly Update on Latest System Security Problem http://www.systemsecurityinstitute.org
Thanks for the response.
Yes I tried that. It results in a folder on G "that contains fonts" but the official system/shell folder "Fonts" remains in C\Windows.
Windows Font folder is a Windows system folder. Windows system folders cannot - and should not - be moved. i_Xp/VistaUser
Thanks.
I am aware that the Fonts Folder is a system folder but then so are many other folders that are easily moveable via MS Tweak-ui, via third party programs or by fairly simple by-hand reg tweaks.
The seeming fact that, in its immovability, the Fonts Folder is different from others is intriguing.
Anybody know a technical reason for this?Also, further "how to" information still welcome!
The difference is Shell or Special Folders that can be moved via TweakUI or similar utility. Shell or special folders are located under Documents & Settings whereas Windows Font folder is not. Is this clear for you now?

I guess you didn't read my last question.
The location of a particular folder does not constitute a "technical reason".
I am not here to argue semantics or nomenclature ("system/special/shell") and I'm not too excited by condescending replies that merely state the obvious.Real information only please, neighbours.
