hi everyone,
just a quick question... what is the proper way of backup the windows fonts folder without having a warning sign written each time I do a copy?

The copy is working but I always have a warning sign with this message:
Cannot set directory locks for the following folders:
Cannot write file "C:\Windows\Fonts\sync.ffs_lock".
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED: Accès refusé.
Regards

Being a system folder, adjusting permissions may or may not work, may or may not break something, and may or may not get reset down the line from an update. With that said, you will have to add write permissions to that directory for your user, ignore all errors for that sync configuration, or disable directory locking.
