    I am SO SICK of this pathetic crap. I am an Administrator on my own computer, and I have even disabled (UAC) and I still get this god awful error message when I try and remove fonts that I don't need from my computer.I can't believe this piece of shit operating system won't even allow me to delete my own files even when I am the damn owner.

    Yeah, and I even tried to change the PERMISSIONS and it won't even allow me to do that. This is absolutely unacceptable.

    That is a system font and should not be deleted. Deleting system fonts can make your system unstable.

    Arial (TrueType)
    Arial Bold (TrueType)
    Arial Bold Italic (TrueType)
    Arial Italic (TrueType)
    Courier 10,12,15 (VGA res)
    Courier New (TrueType)
    Courier New Bold (TrueType)
    Courier New Bold Italic (TrueType)
    Courier New Italic (TrueType)
    Marlett (Windows 95/98) *
    Modern (Plotter)
    MS Sans Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24 (VGA res)
    MS Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24 (VGA res)
    Roman (Plotter)
    Script (Plotter)
    Small fonts (VGA res)
    Symbol (TrueType)
    Symbol 8,10,12,14,18,24 (VGA res)
    Times New Roman (TrueType) -
    Times New Roman Bold (TrueType)
    Times New Roman Bold Italic (TrueType)

    Ok, I'll remember to avoid those fonts. But what about my other fonts that aren't MS? I want to delete some of them too but I'm getting the same error for them as well.

    Are you deleting them from Control Panel?

    When you Go to Control Panel and select Fonts, In the Organize Button, Under Layout see if Preview Pane is checked. If it is, uncheck and then see if you can delete the font.
