Hi, Aura and all of You wonderful experts who provide this help for us all.


First I have to apologize for not reacting your earlier help for me since I seemed to crash into new problems all the time and I just couldn't bare with it anymore so I reinstalled my whole OS. Now it's working fine, but I merely now have a question for advise rather than a problem.


Namely, how can I configurate and move my FONTS folder location from the current default location to my D-drive? Namely "D:/FONTS".


I tried googling around but couldn't find anything 100% solid info on that. I remember having playing around with the Registry many years ago and after that simple having moved all the fonts to the D:/FONTS in Win Explorer. But what I also remember vaguely is that this default fonts location is present in many locations in the registry and I never really have been sure that do I need to change every single entry on the registry or just some of them - and what they might be.


And is there even a 100% valid way for moving fonts? Does Window 7 need this default font location anyway and if so then what fonts should exist there? All the default ones?


My D-drive is way faster than my Windows drive (I do have all SW, files and my User Profile etc. configured and installed on drive D so that's the reason why 'only' Windows is on the smaller C-drive) so I'd like to have all my fonts located there since caching the fonts data seems to slow down my PC at some operations, like SW launch etc. I have over 8000 fonts and I really want them all. Never know what I'll need :)


Sorry for the chunk of extra text but anyway::: HOW DO I CHANGE THE FONTS FOLDER LOCATION IN WINDOWS 7?


Thanks for the help in advance!
