As I stated earlier, I keep all of my fonts in My Documents Font folder, and copies of my installed fonts inside a sub folder.  One reason for this is if I want to share a font with someone, Windows will not allow you to copy a font out of the Windows Font folder.  But If I have a copy in My Documents Font folder, then I can attach it to an email and send it on its way.

I also keep Dingbats, and Dings that I use to make seperators, and things for my web pages in sub folders inside my Documents Font folder. 

If I ever want to install a particular font from My Documents folder to my Windows Font folder, I just open them both, then click in the middle box up in the right hand side to reduce them, and drag the font from My Documents folder to my Windows folder.

To uninstall a font, just reverse the process.  Drag the font from the Windows Font folder into the My Documents Font folder.

I hope this tutorial has helped you.  If you have any questions, please contact me here.
