The OS doesn't delete fonts, it uninstalls them. There's a difference. If you go to you fonts folder in c:\windows\fonts you will see a listing (or graphical icon). Select a font and you will see the option to delete it. The font gets uninstalled (registry reference is deleted too). If you write a script to delete a font, you are using the OS's delete command which doesn't unregister the font. > >> It is pretty likely Windows doesn't delete fonts, but marks them as >> hidden.
