    thanks kirsh and your awesome IT

    Fonts Folder Permission

    first the font folder was locked .. so
    "attrib –r –s c:\windows\fonts" fixed that <-- im gonna look up what that actually does because that seemed to be the magic trick that works better then typing out takeown or icacls in cmd

    so

    then csrss.exe was said to be using the font from that point i tried using custom replacer program from "virtualplastic" site
    which worked at unlocking but yielded error on overwrite so i manually deleted original font then when installing new marlett had to rename it from marlett_0.ttf to original name marlett.ttf

    and in registry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS NT\CURRENT VERSION\FONTS

    made sure
    Marlett (TrueType) matched marlett.ttf


    otherwise after restart you'll lose your start menu and wouldnt see
    selected check boxes as marlett.ttf wouldnt be fetched
