Part of my daily backup has always been to mirror my c:/windows/fonts/ folder. I am new to ffs and just set it up today and noticed it will not allow me to 'select' this folder. Why? Is there any way to mirror it or not?
With my old setup using ms synctoy there was no problem using the fonts folder. Any info would be great!
Can't sync Windows/Fonts folder?

It seems this is a problem of the new Windows Vista IFileDialog directory picker which by default does not show the "Fonts" folder. OTOH with the older < XP SHBrowseForFolder the "Fonts" folder would be shown for selection.
Currently the only way I see to show "Fonts" with IFileDialog is to add the FOS_ALLNONSTORAGEITEMS flag. But this would also offer all kinds of virtual folders and other shell objects that are not relevant for FFS.
Therefore the workaround is to either drag and drop this folder, or write it directly into the directory input field.
