Vista - Can't delete Font ... NOT Windows Fonts

Can't delete Font ... NOT a Windows System Font only Font on Storage Drive

Hello,

I have two separate hard drives in my HP Laptop, running Vista Home Premium, 32 Bit. I also show the partition for my Vista re-install.

On the second Hard Drive I use it strictly for miscellaneous storage items. Today while going through some fonts I had saved from a group I discovered Vista WILL NOT let me delete those fonts I don't want .. THESE ARE NOT INSTALLED Fonts, only in a Font Folder on the extra storage drive.

Here is an example of what is going on :::

I select the font I want to delete > Hit Delete


Get the following Windows Message:

Are you sure you want to send this to the Recycle Bin > I click CONTINUE

Windows needs to Confirm this > I click CONTINUE

Windows need your permission to continue > I click CONTINUE

Then I get Destination Folder Access Denied > Try Again

I don't understand because the destination is the Recycle Bin and that is where I want the stupid things to go ..

If anybody can help me I would be so appreciative, this is driving me nuts.

Am I going to have to stop UAC again in order to delete these??

Thank YOU in advance for even reading my post.

Jenn

Re: Can't delete Font ... NOT a Windows System Font just Font on Storage drive

More information from Microsoft =HERE= but the bottom line is NO ANSWER as of yet.

Can anybody here delete a font file from their Vista system????

I'm now trying to figure out if it's just this HP Laptop or if this is a problem with Vista EVERYWHERE. I have read of other strange problems with Hewlett Packard Laptops.

Appreciate ANY feedback at this point ..

Thank You,
Jenn
