Re: Help with customizing folder

I browse to my C:\Windows\Fonts folder; I click on any font file there and get this
message "The requested file was not a valid font file."

I used to be able to view the fonts with FontView. When I got my new computer, every
time I click on a font, not only did FontView open but the print panel opened as
well. When I tried to change the commands in the folder options, I lost the ability
to see OR print.

Thanks for your input,

Kit

What exactly do you do (eg click this then click that)? Use the names displayed on
the screen (the folder says "Fonts").
