Is it just me, or can regular users not install fonts in Vista?

As a Standard User, and with UAC turned on, you should be provided with an Administrator prompt to complete the installation of the Font. Are you getting that far or receiving some other error?

No, I have UAC turned off and am in a domain environment. I'm trying to figure out a way for my creative department to be able to install their own fonts without my having to log into their twenty PCs everytime they buy something new. I read the Help and Support program's article to no avail. Thank you for the suggestion, though!
Will something like this work on Vista?

The registry portion of that is something I'll have to explore, having unsuccessfully attempted the first part. Thanks, linney!
