ummm... no system32?

[Guest]

Do you think its maybe bad if I don't have a system32 folder? I have a
folder in C:/Windows called I386 though. My computer still runs fine, maybe
this is the way its supposed to be i dont know. but i found this out trying
to figure out why i get a win32 error message when running regedit from the
run command bar.

Hi,

You aren't set to see hidden and system folders. Go to the Control
Panel/Folder Options, and on the View tab, set the options so you can see
hidden and system files. Specifically:

Enable (check) "Display the contents of system folders"
Enable (check) "Show hidden files and folders"
Disable (uncheck): "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)"

I also recommend that you disable (uncheck) "hide extensions for known file
types". Then, go to the \windows and \windows\systme32 folders and look for
regedit.com and delete it. This is most likely why you are getting the error
messages.

No it's not bad, just impossible even though you say it runs
OKSomething has hidden it, check your machine for virus's/ malware.
