lol. guess yusuf gots some point here.
Obviously, for one reason or another m$ decided to place some files in the
%windir%, and some in the %windir%\system32 dir. Although it never became
totally clear to me what structure they had in mind (if there is any).
Roughly said: %windir% is for executables, .ini files and other stuff, and
%windir%\system32 for 32-bit dll's (and %windir%\system for 16 bit dll's).
but hey, take a look at a random installation, and you see loads of
(especially big...) companies messing up. In the end, windows doesn't care
at all where .dll's , and lot of other stuff, is placed, as long as it is in
the path.
Although yusuf, if you know the windows api's that well, you should also
know that application .ini files should be placed in the windir.
with regards,
rene
