I have a bunch of fonts on this system that I will never use,

I've looked at properties, no box to uncheck, etc.
Is there some way to eliminate these? They just clutter up the
font list, even when I've tried hiding them.
Short answer: no.
Actually, there is: it's a registry hack. I found it bu googling,
but would like some advice from anyone who's already done it.

If you already know what the hack is, back up the registry and give
it a try. In the time it took to create this post, wait for replies,
then type out more replies, you could have already found out if it
was a viable hack or not, and if it wasn't, restored your registry to
correct any errors.
The question I have is, Why? On my Win7 system, the font folder takes
up approximately 1/10 of 1 per cent of my total hard drive, and a
298GB drive is relatively small by today's standards. I know
everybody feels it's there "right" to have total control over
everything they own, but there are plenty of other things in life to
worry about than a tiny bit of hard drive space. If you don't want to
use them, then don't. They're not slowing down your system, and they
don't take up much room. What's the problem?
