Afternoon everyone,

I have recently installed 11.5.

Most of our target pc's are Win XP and a few are NT 4.0.

I see that both of these OS's have a Windows\System32 and a Windows\System folder.

I'd like to ask .......

What types of objects do I install into Windows\System as opposed to

Windows\System32 ?

WINSYSDIR seems to give me the location of the Windows\System32 folder.

What do I use to get the location of the Windows\System folder once I understand what goes into it ?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

maybe you can set a path variable to it(Windows\System).
in the Media >> Path Viarables
then use the variable when needed

Windows\System is intended for 16-bit programs. To obtain the location for 16-bit programs, create a 16-bit program and let it call GetSystemDir() (if I recall correctly).
