Re: No Common Tasks pane in Fonts folder....was it ever there?
Yes. It is a very old namespace, from 95 (and dialogs in it are from 3.1).
If one takes a folder reference to it one gets a newer reference. EG programatic access you get a different thing to visual access. My PrintDetails script returns standard folder info for it (unlike other NSs). -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Read David defending the concept of violence. http://margokingston.typepad.com/har...e_ga.html#more ================================================= "Keith Miller" <k.miller79@verizon.net> wrote in message news:uDCkHTr2FHA.732@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl...

Re: No Common Tasks pane in Fonts folder....was it ever there?
More Info:
It still has a desktop.ini file with the following contents: [.ShellClassInfo] UICLSID={BD84B380-8CA2-1069-AB1D-08000948F534} The folder has the 'S' & 'R' attributes set. Custom menu options ("Install Font", "List by Similarity", "Hide Variations") are still available.

Re: No Common Tasks pane in Fonts folder....was it ever there?
It's old. Folder templates/taskpanes didn't exist. I'm not sure but I don't think my ME addin worked on fonts either.

Re: No Common Tasks pane in Fonts folder....was it ever there?
I heard that all things are being updated.
According to MS noone uses the dialogs. Advanced users drag and novices never find the folder in the first place. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Read David defending the concept of violence. http://margokingston.typepad.com/har...e_ga.html#more ================================================= "kenny" <dot@net.biz> wrote in message news:eMQ9onz2FHA.3732@TK2MSFTNGP15.phx.gbl... > yes the dialogs are from 3.1....
