*Currently I copy all the fonts that I like in the font folder in Windows... with the result that everytime I use Word or Excel  and I need to change font, I have to scroll thru a lot of them (that I use only in Photoshop)

*I use an awful lot of fonts almost exclusively in photoshop and very often I'll only use a font once or twice, different fonts for different projects...  I used to forget to uninstall them when I knew I probably wouldn't need them anymore.  But what I do now instead of keeping all those fonts installed is I keep them in a folder on my external drive and when I want to use a particular one in photoshop, before I open photoshop, I double click on the font that I want to use just to open it, I keep it open and then I open photoshop and it's available in there.  I do this with fonts that I know I will only use once or twice for specific projects and probably won't use them again afterward.  For example, I had to do a design with a western-ish/cowboy-ish kinda look not long ago, I never use Cowboy looking fonts, but it's what I needed for that project so I chose the right font for the job, but instead of installing it, I just opened the font while I worked on that project and closed it when it was done.  This way I don't end up with a zillion fonts on my system that I probably will never use more then once cause I know I'd most likely forget to uninstall them when I'm done. 

Just thought I'd share this little tip because maybe not everybody knows about this and it may be useful for some.  :)*
