I want to be able to back up my default fonts from my Windows 8 Pro install. I'm going to be doing some stuff with my fonts, and I want to be able to get back all those is something happens to them. Typing in "C:\Windows\Fonts" just opens up the Font Control Panel page. They don't want to copy from there it seems. Can someone please help me with this.

Try doing this command line from an elevated command prompt:

copy foo:\windows\fonts\*.* bar

(foo stands for your windows installation drive letter; bar stands for destination path.)

It should do the job.
