where is the folder %windir% in a windows xp comouter?
541850
On a standard install of XP it should be C:&#92;Windows\n\n%windir% is a variable used to point to the location of the default Windows directory.  On Windows NT systems and Windows 2000, it would be c:&#92;winnt\n\nTo double check, go to a command prompt\n"Start - Run - cmd"\nAnd type the word 'set' (without quotes) and hit enter\n\nYou'll see a list of your system variables, and one of them will be WINDIR=\n\nThe value after the = will be your %windir% value.

The right-click list as you refer to it is actually called the "context list".\n\nAnd Kowboey's answer to you is wrong! It can be edited but you do need to have quite a bit of knowledge in registry constuction and use. I'm sure you know that tampering with the register can be risky and you should always back it up before you touch it! \n\nHowever, I'll give you one safe change you can make and I'll let you take it from there!\n\nSince Windows Explorer toolbar doesn't contain the handy Create New Folder button, you may want to consider adding the New Folder command to Windows XP's context menu. Here are some the necessary step-by-step instructions to make one easy and valuable change.\nWhen you access the Open or Save dialog box in any application, you know that the toolbar contains the Create New Folder button. However, Microsoft has never put such a handy button on the toolbar in Windows Explorer. (The Make A New Folder command in the Tasks Explorer Bar is a step in the right direction, but it isn't quite as convenient as a toolbar button.)\nFortunately, you can add a New Folder command to Windows XP's context menu. Here's how:\n1.Launch Windows Explorer and select Tools | Folder Options. \n2.In the Folder Options dialog box, select the File Types tab. \n3.In the Registered File Types list, select Folder, and click the Advanced button. \n4.In the Edit File Type dialog box, click the New button. \n5.In the New Action dialog box, type New Folder in the Action text box and CMD.EXE /C MD "%1&#92;New Folder" in the Application Used To Perform Action text box. \n6.Click OK twice and then click Close to close the three dialog boxes. \nNow, whenever you want to create a new folder in Windows Explorer, simply right-click on the folder in which you want to create the folder and select the New Folder command from the context menu. Keep in mind that when you do so, you'll momentarily see a Command Prompt window and there will be a slight delay before you actually see the new folder.\nTo remove the New Folder command, you have to edit the registry. Here's how:\n1.Launch the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe). \n2.Go to HKEY_CLASSES_Root&#92;Folder&#92;Shell key and expand the subtree. \n3.Locate and right-click the New_Foldersubkey and select Delete. \nNote: Editing the registry is risky, so be sure you have a verified backup before saving any changes.

On the prompt screen when you were asked, if you want to run or save this file, what was the destination folder?  The standard destination folder for XP operating systems is the my documents folder.  Click on start, then my documents, the program you download it should be in this folder.  If it's not located here.  Click on start, then search, in the search box, type IE7, click search all files and folders, then run.  Good luck!

This question is a bit obscure as it doesnt explain what files you are trying to delete. The answer listed with it is obscure as well as it gives no real information on how to remove files therefore I will attemp a general answer on removing files and programs from a computer running windows.\n If removing an installed program the proper method is to click the start button on the taskbar, depending on your windows version you will see either a control panel selection, or a settings selection. If it is control panel click that, if settings put your mouse over it then click on control panel in the resulting drop down menu.\n In control panel find the selection for add / remove programs. Once the window opens find the program you wish to remove and click the remove button. Once you finish the removal process the program should be gone from your list. (There are many variations in the program removal process but almost all will require input from the user in order to complete) If you want to remove all of the files from the program from your system once you have uninstalled the program close all the open dialogues then on your desktop right click the Recycle Bin and in the resulting menu left click on Empty Recycle Bin.\n For removing files the process is a bit different, and you will need to know where the files are stored, ie the Folder where they are located.\n Click the Start button on the task bar. For windows XP Place your mouse over All Programs then in the resulting menu place your mouse over Accessories (it may not be in the list initially if not there will be an arrow-like selection at the top or bottom of the menu, hold the mouse over this for a few seconds and the entire menu appears) In the Accessories menu place your mouse over Windows Explorer and Left click on it.\n For other Versions of windows the process is identical except that when you click the start button you will see Programs in the menu Treat that as the All Programs in the previous paragraph, also there may be a selection for Windows Explorer in the initial Programs menu again this depends on the version of windows.\n In windows Explorer on the left will be a list of things on your computer, topping the list will be Desktop, under this you should see My Document, My Computer, My Network Places and Recycle Bin. If the files you wish to remove are located in My Documents then click that folder in the left panel, in the right panel you will see a list of files locate the ones you wish to remove then Right click each one and select delete with a left click on each. If the files are in a subfolder of My Documents locate it in the left panel and click the remove the files in the right panel as outlined in the previous paragraph. \n If the files are located in a folder other than the My Documents then click the + beside the My Computer then click the plus beside the Drive that the Folder is located on, ie C, then click the + beside the folder your files are located in, etc. till you get the folder you are looking for. \n to remove files right click and select delete left clcik .\nThis procedure will only be possable if you know Where the files you want to remove are stored.\n If you want to make sure the files are completely removed from your computer close any windows you ave open then on your desktop right click the Recycle Bin, select Empty Recycle Bin from the menu and left click it.\n That is in general how you remove Programs or files from your computer, there are other factors that can affect this and without knowing specifics i cant be more specific with the method. I hope this helps.

You will find all your default wall papers of windows XP in 'C:&#92;windows&#92;web&#92;Wallpaper' folder. if the Folder itself is missing you may have to do a inplace upgrade of the windows xp or a repair installation. Please Reffer Microsoft KB to complete the repair/inplace upgrade\nThanks

hi there,\n    oh yea, most of us have this problem, ok here we go, first of all in win XP there is a system restore feature, which eats a lot of disk space, last week I retrieved 1.2 gb from my friends harddrive by disabling system restore.  So, if you are sure that you pc in future will not require SYSTEM RESTORE feature then disable it by RIGHT CLICK on MY COMPUTER - > PROPERTIES - > then select SYSTEM RESTORE tab, then, using settings turn off system restore for all drives. this will save more space.\n\nAnd regarding the files you want to delete, open the search box below the LOOK IN box click WHAT SIZE IS IT?, then specify the estimated size like starting from 512000kb(500MB) (for every MB add 1024 kb), then click on MORE ADVANCED OPTIONS check the boxes of SEARCH SYSTEM FOLDERS(IF U WANT),SEARCH HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS, SEARCH SUBFOLDERS. thats it, by specifying these results you can search for a specified sized files even if its hidden.\n\n   I think the files in the temporary folders (TEMP N TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES) are not shown, for that go to ur system drive then DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS->(select ur login id)->LOCAL SETTINGS, in this folder you can see the two temporary folders, try to search those folders individually using search options.\n\nthats it\n see ya,\nK.A.G.S.

You need to know where your puter stored them. If you don't, you'll need to do a search for them. If you do, goto start, programs, accessories, and select windows explorer. goto the folder that it is stored in, click on the file one time, then right click and select delete. \n\nTo search for it, goto start, search, and select files and folders, select the type file you're looking for, type in the name of the file and click search. if you do not know the extention i.e. sol.exe being exe is the extention, then you can use an * in it's place. The * is a wild card meaning "I don't care"
