Re: Edit permissions for Fonts folder

you could try opening a commend window in administrator mode,
navigating to the c:\windows\fonts folder and deleting from there.

Hello Chufflebean,

Try using Unlocker:

Maybe someone else can conjure up something else to try.

I'm trying to delete a bunch of extraneous fonts, but Windows won't let me
delete them because of Permissions. Currently I'm having to open the
properties of each font individually, change the owner to me, close the
properties, reopen them, and give myself the right permissions. There must be
a faster way! I wanted to apply these permission settings to the whole Fonts
folder, but when I right-click Fonts and choose properties, there is no
"security" tab.
