SYMPTOMS
========

When you click the Windows\Fonts folder in Windows Explorer and then click the
File menu, the following four commands may be displayed twice, and one or more
instance of each may be unavailable:

  Create Shortcut
  Delete
  Rename
  Properties

CAUSE
=====

The special treatment of the Fonts folder has not been fully updated to reflect
the addition of Microsoft Plus! features.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The special treatment of the Fonts folder provides extended menu items in
Windows Explorer that allow you to:

- Install new fonts from the File menu.

- List fonts by similarity from the View menu.

- Hide variations from the View menu.

- Show only TrueType fonts in programs by clicking on the View menu and then
  clicking the TrueType tab.

This Microsoft Plus! feature is included in Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2
(OSR2), and is added to Windows 95 when you install Microsoft Plus!.

STATUS
======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
