1.  I have unused fonts (Cyrillic, Turkish, etc.) which appear in
Control Panel/Fonts with an arrow indicating that they are shortcuts,
presumably to my WP Fonts folder, where they all appear without the
arrows.  I want to uninstall them to speed up start-up, but keep them
on my disk in case I ever need them.  Can I do this by uninstalling
the shortcuts from Control Panel and leaving the fonts themselves
alone?
2.  How do I uninstall fonts?

I have QuickRes in my startup folder, and, of course, my systray.
Does this slow me down?  Is there any reason I should leave it there?
I very rarely change display properties.
