>>I wouldn't trust that in every case. Special folders, such as the font folder can vary from machine to machine. For example, the My Documents folder here at work is in a completely different location from the one at home. I'd err on the side of caution and go with the WSH (which I'm sure doesn't surprise< g >).

The fonts directory is referred to in the platform SDK as a virtual folder, not a file system folder. Therefore, it can be in a location other than directly beneath windows.
