This isn't a Windows problem. This is an app problem, and in this post's case, Quicken. Quicken is looking to where Windows keeps fonts and, on every startup, accessing all of them. Windows doesn't tell the app to do this, the app is choosing to do so. And if not fonts, it could be something else. (I've seen a homegrown enterprise app that would go weird if there was too much stuff in C:\Temp because it used it and scanned the WHOLE THING on startup for its stuff. Again, even though C:\Temp is a Windows folder, this is an app issue.)
