HiJack This - fabulous tool, especially if you have a log from a fresh install to use as a baseline.I'll try to add a short description length permitting.

It was too long unfortunately, so I am using this as a skeleton post and will post the details I originally wrote to go with it in the comments. I tried to give a description of what they do, and why I chose them.

The following is a list of every program I installed. But when editing this answer to add this addendum, the backslash is there exactly as it should be, exactly as I typed it.I recently had to do a clean install on a laptop, and I used it as an opportunity to really assess which programs where necessary for my everyday use. When viewing the page, the backslash isn't showing. It sure isn't a root directory.Īddendum: In the second-to-last paragraph, about Windows 95/98/ME, I typed "so the root partition would be C." That is, letter C, a colon, a backslash, and then a period for the end of the sentence (not part of the directory name). This is somewhat like each Unix user's home directory. Well sure, each logged in user has a desktop. As always, the Windows system files could be installed in directory \Windows or others on any partition. This would usually get drive letter C: so the root partition would be C. In Windows 95/98/ME the BIOS and MBR would look for files IO.SYS, COMMAND.COM, and some others, in the active partition. But if you installed by having Windows running already, inserting the DVD and starting the installer under that Windows installation, then the drive letters could be almost anything. If you installed by booting the DVD, then the boot partition (containing the system files) is C: and your system partition (containing the boot files) is D:, unless they're the same partition and then the partition is C. If you're running Vista then things are more complicated. If this is drive letter Q then you can say that Q:\ is the root of the system drive. You can get the drive letter from the symbol %SystemDrive% as someone else said. 99% of the time this will be drive letter C.Īlso if you're running Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 then you also have a partition which contains the Windows system files, such as directory \Windows or others. Anyway, when you find which drive letter this is, say letter L, then you could say that L:\ is the root directory. I'm not completely sure how a program can find which partition this was. Microsoft calls this the system partition. The BIOS and MBR find this partition by finding which drive to start booting, scanning the MBR, and looking for the active partition. If you're running Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 then the closest equivalent is the partition containing files NTLDR, NTDETECT.COM, BOOT.INI, and BOOTFONT.BIN. This is the only kind of Windows where you can get a simple answer to your question. If you're running Windows CE then \ is the root directory.
