Get Windows 2000 dir!

NTFSD
1

Hello,
Is there a way to get Windows dir in the kernel mode? For example, I want
to get my windows dir “D:\winnt” in the driver. I know there is kernel API
to query Registry to get the windows dir, I wonder if there is any other
way. Thanks for any info!

Regards,
Sin-Lam

Sin-Lam:

This is in the IFS Kit. NtQueryDirectoryFile is the specific API (see
ntifs.h)

Tony,
I think Sin-Lam wants to determine the WindowsNT
installation directory not query its contents. :wink:
The string “D:\winnt” (or whatever else) should be
returned.

Hello,

You may use the symbolic link “\SystemRoot” for that purpose.
