Hi, and I need to know where the following might be found in Windows XP... 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)

Boot files are in the root of the boot drive.
Registry files are: %WINDIR%\system32\config\
