Hello

Something has juggled around completely with my system.

I posted yesterday about my system being super fragmented suddenly and today
I can not find Windows.

The system folder is empty and there are no folders in it.

I've made sure that the computer is displaying 'system folders' (no hidden
folders) but it is still empty.

Windows is still up and running but I want to get into 'system' to empty the
Prefetch folder

Any help please?

Click to expand...

If the Windows system folder was empty then Windows would
not run! Have a look at the "System32" folder instead of "System".
 
For Windows, type: %windir% into Start | Run and click OK.

For Prefetch, type: prefetch into Start | Run and click OK.
