I don't have a c:\windows directory!
I have a C:\WINNT. Is that any good?

When I try to view files in that directory it says my Administrator won't
allow me. Have I been hacked?

My other computer has \root \etc \var but no C:? I tried creating a \Windows
directory but it said I didn't have permission.

Please help me.........
