Install New Font Missing

Question: My Windows Font Folder is missing 'Install New Font' command. How do I fix?Answer: To restore the missing 'Install New Font' command: Restart Windows in MS-DOS mode
Type cd windows then Enter (return) to go to the Windows directory (or whatever directory where you've installed Windows)
Type this command: attrib fonts +s
Shut down and restart Windows
Check your Fonts folder for the missing commands.

If they are not restored, do the following: Restart Windows in MS-DOS mode
Type cd windows\system to go to the Windows System folder
Type dir fontext.dll to see if that file exists
If fontext.dll exists, rename it to fontext.old by typing: ren fontext.dll fontext.old
Get a new copy of fontext.dll from your original Windows disk or CD-ROM and extract it to the Windows\System folder
Restart Windows

If the commands in your Fonts folder are still missing, follow these steps: Restart Windows in MS-DOS mode
Type cd windows\fonts to go to the Windows Fonts folder
Type dir desktop.ini to see if that file exists
If desktop.ini exists, rename it to desktop.old by typing: ren desktop.ini desktop.old
Get a new copy of desktop.ini from your original Windows disk or CD-ROM and extract it to the Windows\Fonts folder
Restart Windows

If none of these procedures work or you hit a snag, post an inquiry to the About Windows forum asking for additional help.
