"All fonts are stored in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder. You can also add
fonts by simply dragging font files from the extracted files folder
into this folder. Windows will automatically install them. If you want
to see what a font looks like, open the Fonts folder, right-click the
font file, and then click Preview."
Maybe that also applies to Windows XP, I don't have a Windows system to
test it.

As Ralph said. However, you don't actually need to go to
Control Panel. C:\Windows\Fonts can be opened like a normal
folder and Install New Fonts is on the File menu. The dialogue
window will ask you to point to the folder with new fonts. You
can install as many as you like at one time. Windows will figure
it out. But if you have a folder full of fonts that are already
installed you'll have to answer a messagebox for each one:
"This font is already installed."
I've found that on XP, for unknown reasons, occasionally Windows
loses a lot of fonts. So I keep backups.
