Re: Fonts disappearing from Windows\Fonts folder

Every time I look in the Windows/Fonts folder I see nothing but dir from the
C prompt shows fonts. If I reinstall I see the fonts until I close explorer.
Same things from the fonts menu out of Control Panel. The seem to disappear
from Windows although something seems to be in the directory windows/fonts.
