Windsor Font disappears everytime I restart.... why?

I previously had a font called "Windsor" which I had acquired and used extensively in Flash 5. Upon reformatting my Hard drive recently I lost all of my non-standard font files and had to go find them online again. During this process I downloaded a font called windsor.zip but it was actually named WindsorDemi.fog once I unzipped it and installed it.

I have since found the correct Windsor file, installed it and deleted the wrong one. However everytime I restart the computer it reverts back to "WindsorDemi.fog" instead of "Windsor".

I have performed detailed searches and am unable to find this mysterious WindsorDemi.fog anywhere.

Basically everytime I restart nothing changes under C:\Windows\Fonts... it still shows Windsor.ttf but the mysterious WindsorDemi.fog shows up in all programs having font selection lists.

Run regedit and check under the following key and ensure that it shows Windsor pointing to the Windsor.ttf. If it shows instead WindsorDemi.fog pointing to the Windsor.ttf then right-click on the WindsorDemi.fog and choose rename and rename it to Windsor.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Fonts

Please provide feedback, good or bad.
And I'm always open to new suggestions or ideas.

I did exactly as you said and it shows the Windsor.ttf like it should however if I open Flash or Word or any program... Windsor is not there but is replaced by WindsorDemi.fog

I am totally stumped by this one!

Any more ideas? I am desparate here;-) Ya' Gotta Love It!
