I want to copy some files to the system32 folder to protect them (so the user wont mess aroung with them)
I need the location
"C:\windows\system32"
but sometimes windows is installed on d or e
so i need code to find out the location

You Can get The Systeme Folder by Using
The Environement.SystemeDirectory

I'am Using XP SP2 havent Tested on Vista
but Normally its Should work also on Vista

It returns the system directory for the current environment. If the current environment is Vista...

It will work on Vista but some of the folder names may be a little different then they were in XP. Like "My Music" in XP is now "Music" in Vista etc. but the constant value for finding that folder is still the same.
