Question : Permissions issue with system folder

Hi,

I have an issue with the windows FONT folder in Windows 7. In windows XP, you had an ability to modify sharing and security on this folder, however, in Windows Vista or Windows 7 you can't modify it. Is there a way to modify permissions to this folder, to allow users read/write permission or even full access?

Thank you for your help!

START | type cmd.exe into the start search box | RIGHT-click on cmd.exe above under programs | select Run as Administrator |-paste them -

takeown /f "c:\windows\fonts" /r /d n

icacls "c:\windows\fonts" /grant administrators:F /t

I have copied them into the code box as well.
