- No Common Tasks pane in Fonts folder....was it ever there?
- Posted by Keith Miller on October 27th, 2005
Hi all,
I just noticed there is no Common Tasks pane in my Fonts folder. Is that normal?

Yes. It is a very old namespace, from 95 (and dialogs in it are from 3.1).
If one takes a folder reference to it one gets a newer reference. EG programatic access you get a different thing to visual access. My PrintDetails script returns standard folder info for it (unlike other NSs). --

More Info:
It still has a desktop.ini file with the following contents:
[.ShellClassInfo]
UICLSID={BD84B380-8CA2-1069-AB1D-08000948F534}
The folder has the 'S' & 'R' attributes set.
Custom menu options ("Install Font", "List by Similarity", "Hide Variations") are still available.

It's old. Folder templates/taskpanes didn't exist. I'm not sure but I don't think my ME addin worked on fonts either.

I heard that all things are being updated.
According to MS noone uses the dialogs. Advanced users drag and novices never find the folder in the first place.
