The Windows System Directory

The so-called System directory is where applications may place system components . In the previous years, this directory was heavily used by many applications, and you typically find thousands of files in this directory. However, in more recent years, Microsoft has recommended application developers not to use this directory, unless the component is meant for sharing between several applications. Typically the exact path to the system directory is C:\Window\System32 or C:\WINNT\System32 if you have installed Windows in it's standard directories. If you are uncertain what your system directory is, take a look at the PATH statement definition. The System directory is very often specified there, since this directory contains many many common and shared component files.

The following files are placed here:
