how do i get to this file?
 
This isn't a file, it refers to the path of the root windows system folder--usually c:\Windows or c:\winnt
 
Hi,

You can also open Command Prompt and type a command:
echo %systemroot%

Hope this helps,

If you dont know aht it is, you probably shouldn't mess with it.
 
right-click My Computer, Properties, Advanced, and then click Envorionmetal Variables.

In both the top and bottom boxes you will see predefined paths for global and local variables.

Some important ones to know:

%username%
%path%
%windir%
%systemroot%
%temp%
 
Come on Bobg1, we were all there once. At least he's asking BEFORE he screws up!
