How to solve the problem that windowsxp can't install fonts

I used to be unable to install fonts under XP. I found this article on the Internet. I can use this method to install it correctly. I hope to put it here to give a look at the xp system. Many friends may have encountered this. Situation: To install the font, when copying the font to C:\\WINDOWS\\Fonts, there should be no "install new fonts" that should pop up; prompt, even the font copied into the folder cannot be used, the file under C:\\WINDOWS\\Fonts There is no "Install new fonts" in the menu.

I was unfortunately encountered this situation some time ago. The first reaction is google and baidu. However, the search result is either a 98 system solution. Either reloading the system, the latter is obviously too much trouble. The desktop.ini file under the 98 system mentioned by the former is not found under the font folder of the xp system. At the moment, the author cannot think about it, and is preparing to reinstall the system. When the flash of light flashed, I finally found the ultimate solution:

Create a new file under the C:\\WINDOWS\\Fonts folder, “desktop.ini”, open it with Notepad, enter the following Capacity (without quotes): <;[.ShellClassInfo]

UICLSID={BD84B380-8CA2-1069-AB1D-08000948F534} ”, after saving, change the “desktop.ini” file attribute to only Read the hidden. This problem is solved perfectly.

Principle: C:\\WINDOWS\\Fonts under xp system is a special folder, even if all files are visible in the tool-folder option, this The configuration file under the folder "desktop.ini" is still not displayed. The open method can only be displayed by entering C:\\WINDOWS\\Fonts\\desktop.ini in the address bar. So I did not expect this configuration file to be lost when dealing with the problem. Many friends often search all desktops.ini and then delete them when optimizing the system. Therefore, deleting the file by mistake can make the fonts unable to be installed.

Although the solution to the problem is very simple, it is necessary to start from this direction. It is quite a painstaking thought. Just like the first story of setting up an egg. I hope this article can help some friends who have encountered this problem.
