System Files in ME? 1

[JohnVogel]

Hi, and I need to know where the following might be found in Windows ME... names/folders/etc.

Where is the system registry file located?
What are the boot files and where are they located?
Where is the COM+ Class registration Database located?

If someone could help me with this, I would be very greatful. I'm mainly trying to mimich a system backup, but doing it through Visual Basic, but I can't even seem to figure out where the files/folders would be.

(P.S. I am posting this in each windows forum, because I need to know where the system files are in each individual O/S)

John,

System registry is same as for win9x - its 2 files, system.dat (in \windows) and user.dat (in \windows if single users machine, in \windows\profiles\username if multi-user). You might consider system.ini and win.ini also in \windows) which Windows backs up in its set of previous registries you can restore from using scanreg - in \windows\sysbckup.

Boot files are io.sys, msdsos.sys and command.com in the root of the drive (usually C - also same as win9x (ie, need these to boot operating system - assume thats what you mean).

I don't know about COM+ Class registration Database - have you tried Google? (quick look brought back numerous hits - though seemed to be for 2k/xp mainly)
