This guide exists simply to explain the directories of your windows xp
copy, nothing more.

C:\Program Files - pretty much the drop point for new programs, as well as
system components such as Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer, Messenger,
and Outlook Express.
C:\Temp - sometimes used by programs to extract their setup files for use
when you are installing a program. Sometimes this directory needs purging to
delete old setup files.
C:\System Volume Information - used by system restore, don't modify.
C:\Documents and Settings - Holds user specific settings and information.
Windows - where your windows is installed DUH!
C:\Windows\PCHEALTH - used for system restore, don't modify.
C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles - where the service pack files are installed after
you install a upgrade.
C:\Windows\System32 - System directory that should not be messed with unless 
you know exactly what you are doing.
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET - .NET FRAMEWORK for .NET application support.
C:\Windows\LastGood - Holds Last Known Good Configuration, don't modify
C:\Windows\inf - contains .inf files, these are files that can be used to 
install or uninstall products..it also contains config information for 
certain Windows Components.
C:\Windows\Temp - another common folder used to dispose temp setup files,
this folder may need to be cleaned from time to time too.
C:\Windows\System32\dllcache - This is a hidden folder, it holds the windows
file protection files in case one file goes bad it will replace the file with
a good one from this directory.
