locating the operating system folders

Hi
I'm trying to find/locate/search for the Operating System
Folder. All file and folders are unhidden including the
OS folder. I've looked in Explore in the root files "C&E"
and have done extensive searches and aways come up empty
handed. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? What file
name and extension does one use when using "search" for
the operating folder? Thanks in advance.

The two most common are
c:\windows
or c:\winnt

but is whatever you called it.

Go to windows explorer, tools, folder options, view, uncheck
"hide protected system files"

Hi
The WINNT and WINDOWs folders are there (visible)
however, when I expand them I don't see any files I
associate with an OS file. I don't remember naming the OS
file at the time on installation. This is crazy!
