What does percent SystemRoot percent mean in XP Assume your C drive is both your boot and system partition?

If this is a sample test or homework question from a course you paid money for, you got ripped off. %SystemRoot% refers to the location of the system or "Windows" folder. It may be the C:\Windows directory, but it doesn't have to be (and you shouldn't assume that it is... the whole point of defining %SystemRoot% is so you don't have to guess where the system folder is).


How do I force start the Smart Card Reader Service without receiving an Error 1068 The dependency service or group failed to start message?

Create two files in notepad, use the XP.cmd file if you are on Windows XP, use the 2K version if on Windows 2000. Use Save As to make the file a .cmd or .reg file as sown in the file names below. Run the two files and then reboot. Here are the files: File SCARD_XP.CMD: %systemroot%\system32\scardsvr.exe reinstall %systemroot%\system32\regsvr32.exe /s %systemroot%\system32\scardssp.dll %systemroot%\system32\regedt32.exe /s scard_xp.reg %systemroot%\system32\net.exe start scardsvr %systemroot%\system32\sc.exe config scardsvr start= auto File SCARD_2K.CMD: %systemroot%\system32\scardsvr.exe reinstall %systemroot%\system32\regsvr32.exe /s %systemroot%\system32\scardssp.dll %systemroot%\system32\net.exe start scardsvr %systemroot%\system32\sc.exe config scardsvr start= auto File SCARD_XP.REG: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\SCardSvr] "ObjectName"="NT AUTHORITY\\LocalService" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\SCardDrv] "ObjectName"="NT AUTHORITY\\LocalService"


What does SFC.exe mean?

SFC.exe is the windows system file checker. It checks system files for corruption or unwanted changes. If sfc discovers that a protected file has been overwritten, it retrieves the correct version of the file from the %systemroot%\system32\dllcache folder, and then replaces the incorrect file. If %systemroot%\system32\dllcache folder is corrupted, you need to have the windows installation CD to replace damaged files. %systemroot% is usually C:\WINDOWS.

The folder in which Windows is installed is known generically as what?

SystemRoot%SystemRoot% defines your Operating System's defualt folder or location that all the system files are stored at.%SystemRoot% is a system wide variable which refers to the path and folder name where system files are located. Typically this is C:\Windows, although you can designate a different drive or folder when windows is installed. you can use %SystemRoot% in place of the actual location of the folder that contains the windows system files.For example, to identify your system root folder, click Start -> Run, type %SystemRoot% and click OK. This will open windows explorer with your system root folder displayed.Confusingly if you go Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced tab -> Environment Variables, then scroll to the bottom of the list and double click windir you will see that %SystemRoot% is actually a "Variable value" of a variable named windir. (see image below)


What does percent systemroot percent system32 mean?

It means the "system32" folder inside whatever the system folder of the currently running version of Windows is. It may be, in fact probably is (at least 90% of the time), C:\Windows\system32, but the point of using the %SystemRoot% specification is that even if you've somehow managed to install Windows in some nonstandard location, that will point to the correct directory.
