How can I grant users to access/modify system folders (C:/Windows/Fonts) by using GPO in Win7 ?

In our company there are some folks that require often new fonts that they take from the internet. Unfortunately, some of them have offices on in a diferrent country, so going there to insert my admin paswoord is not a solution.

If you copy the ttf file into the C:/Windows/Font folder is enough, you don't have to also add the registry.

One way to bypass the window that asks for admin credentials is to insert my crdentials into the bat file (runas). But this is very unsecure, as I am an administrator.

Is there a way to create a shared folder that can also store fonts that can be used by windows? Can I give them the right to modify files in this folder without making them administrators? Or do you see any solution to this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
