Check the environment variable %windir% and see what drive is at the root of
that folder.

So, I was asking for a single command for every version. Is there any?

This was good one. What about other version of Windows like Windows 95/98?
Will this %windir% will work?

Let me know you views.

I can tell you that %windir% is good for Win98 SE.

Type "echo %windir%" at the command prompt, or just type "set" to see all
variables (less than a screen's worth), in which case it will be the last
one.

You don't even need the CD. Just going to Start Run (or Winkey-R) and
entering %windir% will open an explorer window with the folder Windows is
installed in.

Nope, that's not a legal command. Perhaps you mean CD \, but that just
takes you to the root folder of whatever drive you are in, and doesn't say
anything about where %windir% is.

%windir% works with Windows 95/98. In fact it would get set in Windows 3.*
as well so you can use it for any version of Windows since at least 3.0.

cd %windir% doesn't work unless you're already at the prompt for the
drive that contains Windows. echo %windi% does work no matter which
drive you start from.

cd /d %windir% will work fine...
echo %windi% does work no matter which
drive you start from.

I think you mean %windir%

Correct designation is %system%.

??? There is no %system% variable by default in Windows. There is
%systemdrive% and %systemroot%, maybe you were thinking of one of those ???
