I have several users that share the same station. Each has a different job
and need some different fonts.
Can the 'Fonts' folder be user dependent so that if user 'A' signs on, they
see what they need but are not cluttered with what user 'B' needs.
Thanks,
Doug Sanders

There's a value named Fonts in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders with value "D:\WINNT\Fonts". (Win 2K is installed on drive D.)
Has anyone ever tried changing that value to see what happens?

I think I'll tinker with this, maybe use a script or VB to see if I can
change the User's font directory after logon.
The registry is such a big conundrum, I've broken it before, probably will
again.
I'll let you know how it works out
Thanks,
Doug
