G.U.I. problem in NT4

[jonathanku]

I've recently had NT4 re-installed on my work-PC, but something wierd has happened.

I've lost the ability to do certain things:
* add fonts (the option doesn't appear in the Fonts <file> menu
* see the address bar in WinNT Explorer
* see the back/forward buttons in WinNT Explorer
* use the <windows><D> shortcut to view the desktop
* ...other things, which I forget

NOTE - I've got the same Service Pack, Build number and rights as before (as far as I can tell), but it looks like an older version of WinNT Explorer. One of the network administrators advised that I need to install VB_Runtime 6, but this didn't help.

Anyone come across this before?

Sounds like you previously had active desktop installed

IE4 gives you the option to put active desktop on during installation...

Thanks - I'm going to try installing IE4 then.

For any interested parties - I got round the problem of no &quot;Install New Font&quot; option by setting the font directory with the System-attribute:

c:\winnt>attrib +s fonts
