Where on my Computer are %SYSTEMROOT% . . .

Okay - as a previous post I need a work around for some software that will not run or install correctly. THe directions require me to find the following files and folders:

1. Autoexec.nt
2. Config.nt
3. And the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32 folder

Is part of the problem that I am missing these files to begin with? The first part of the workaround did not work, so I have to try some manual editing. Where might I find these?

Thnaks.

 

%systemroot%\system32

=C:\windows\system32

 

%systemroot% is a variable. Open up a command prompt and type "echo %systemroot%". You can even type "cd %systemroot%" or enter %systemroot% into the address bar of Windows Explorer/My Computer.

Default:
WinXP: C:\Windows\
Win2k: C:\Winnt\
