Built-In CD burner problem

I accidentally copied all fonts in my Fonts directory to burn to CD. (I
really just wanted to copy some fonts from one machine to another.) It wrote
many of them, but stopped when it hit "vgaoem.fon", saying it could not
delete this file (from the emporary area, I guess).

Now, this directory always appears. I cannot delete it. I've gone to the
location on C: (Docs and Settings/Lee/ Local Settings .....Microsoft, and see
this file. But, I cannot delete it, since I believe it is in use on the
system. I've tried renaming the folder, but it brings up the new folder name
when a new CD is inserted, wanting to burn this file.

I appreciate any suggestions!

Thanks,

Lee

Don't quote me on this but I don't think fonts are covered by system file
check (SFC) so the BEST option I can think of is a simple repair
installation which should cover it without a problem.

Well, I feel pretty stupid. I tried deleting the file by clicking on its
icon, which gave the error. Later I picked the menu selection that
says"Delete temporary files", and that worked.
