runnin MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to

I followed the instructions to the letter but when it came to pasting things
into the %systemroot%\System32 folder I got lost. I could not find a
folder by that name.

Please help!!!!!!!

It is usually the C:\WINNT\System32 folder

%systemroot% is the variable for where your OS files are installed,
typically C:\WINNT.

So the %systemroot%\System32 path would translate as C:\WINNT\system32
assuming your system is typical.
