| Vista Home Premium | 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 Last edited by JennB213; 06-09-2009 at 01:11 PM.. Reason: Title |

| Vista Home Premium | 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 Hello, I have two separate hard drives in my HP Laptop, running Vista Home Premium, 32 Bit.
