Missing "install new fonts" Commands in the Fonts Folder in Windows 98

When you open the Fonts folder in Windows Explorer, the following commands may be missing from the Fonts folder menus. On the File menu:

• Open
• Print
• Install New Font

This behavior can occur for any of the following reasons:

• The System and Read Only attributes are no longer set for the Fonts folder. The Fonts folder must have its System and Read Only attributes set to work correctly.
• The Fontext.dll file may be missing or damaged, causing the menus to contain only the commands for a generic folder.
• The Desktop.ini file may be missing or damaged. Note that you do not see the Desktop.ini file when you view the Fonts folder. To see the file, open an MS-DOS session and view the Windows\Fonts folder.
