Font installation is broken in Windows XP Pro?

Normaly, you install new fonts by draging them into the fonts folder.

That operation no longer works on my computer.
How can I restore that feature?

I DID try the repair function from tweakui without any success.

System is Windows XP Pro

Tried the "Send to" without any success.

Thanks, but it definitively don't works for me.

My fonts folder is displayed exactly the same way as a regular folder.
The arial fonts is displayed as "arial.ttf"
If I display the details, it shows the file's name, size, file type and creation date.

The repair option from tweakui fails to restor the folder's display to what it should be.

When in my fonts folder, my Files menu shows those items:
New...
Create a shortcut
Delete
Rename
Properties
Exit

No mather what I do, i can't get the "Install new font" entry.
Yes, I'm logged as administrator.
