I think you can grab the system directory from the registry. Non-NT users (98 and below) used \System\ not \System32\, along with not everyone has their windows drive on C:\. |

yea but when you install xp, you can change what drive its installed on, and you could also use disk management to change drive letters. Of course you could always read the filepaths saved in registry for system folder, then problem would be solved (You know how it stores path to your documents, program files, temp folder etc) |
