I'd like to put my I386 folder on my hard drive so I don't have to use
my C when something calls for it. Could someone please tell me where,
in the Registry, this line is? Also, MS must have a document which
explains this - but I haven't been able to pick the correct key words
to find it. Thank you!

Ooops!! I just went to that spot in my Registry and there are 10 items
in the right hand box. I don't know which to choose and what to type
in for the value. Can you help? Thanks.

The one you are looking for is the SourcePath value, it's a REG_SZ
value. The value will be the drive where the i386 folder is located,
example:

If the I386 directory is at C:\I386, the SourcePath value would be C:\.

Ooops again - I just noticed the link you sent me. Thanks - I'm in the
process of copying the files to C:\ now. Then, I intend to try sfc
/scannow to make sure it works.
