Re: Cannot delete fonts to reinstall

The machine is connected to a workgroup.

I disabled Simple File Sharing and was able to display the Security tab on
the Fonts folder. It has full permissions, but I still cannot delete one or
more font files.

Dan, I recently had the same problem with one stubborn font file; whenever I tried to delete it I would get an "Access denied" message.

I had tried Unlocker (as I know you have) and deleting in a Command window, but what finally worked for me was using Unlocker *on* the command line. It found no handles but offered to delete the file for me, and it went. Worth a try?

In a Command window, navigate to the folder where you have Unlocker installed then type "Unlocker.exe -h" (without the quotes) to see all the options.

Hope this helps :-) -- let us know how it goes.
