You know, I've been writing droplets in CS3 and saving them to my Send To folder, so when I right-click on a file (or group of files) I can send them straight to the droplet and run the action. I never have to open Photoshop.

So I was wondering, can I do the same thing with fonts? They're a pain to install in XP, especially on a rainy afternoon when I've been browsing for hours and have 50 to install.

So I made a shortcut to my Fonts folder and put it in my Send To folder, and voila! Now all I have to do is right-click on the font and send it to the Fonts folder, and it installs it. Four clicks eliminated, what a great shortcut!

Thanks for the inspiration, Dorah! I knew there had to be an easier way to do it.
