All bootable Windows files 7 are located in the Boot folder, which is usually located on the C: drive. However, the folder is securely hidden so that our playful hands can't reach it. Not surprisingly, the contents of the folder determine whether Windows boots or not.
However, there are situations when changing the method Windows boot 7 is very desirable. For example, when working with, you may need a program such as ReadyDriverPlus. For this program to work, you need to specify the path to the C:\Boot folder. You go to the C: drive and ... you don’t see this folder point-blank. She's not there, just a rolling ball. And how to find it?
There are two simple options discussed below.
Show hidden folders and files
This recipe is well known to many. Windows users 7, well, it will not be superfluous to remind him again. Default in Windows 7 system files and the folders are hidden - it's understandable, well, who needs some kind of teapot to climb where it doesn't need to and ruin everything it could? However, files and folders are hidden very close.
- To get started, choose a team Start > Computer and go to the C: drive in the window that opens.
- Now you need to press the key
to display the top menu bar. In this panel, select the command Tools > Folder Options. A window will open Folders settings, in which go to the tab View. - There are two things to do in this tab:
- uncheck Hide protected system files;
- select radio button Show hidden files, folders and drives.
Now Windows does not have a single folder or file hidden from your eyes. Go to drive C:. Now it has a bunch of hidden folders that you better not mess with!
Show hidden section
Okay, I can see all the hidden folders, but the Boot folder is still missing? Where's my Boot folder, you bastards, give me mine boot files!
Calm down - we'll find it now. Since she is not in hidden folders, then she is hiding ... in a hidden Windows section 7. Evil pasties from Microsoft hid this section from us, but we will fix it now. The partition is only 100 MB in size, and you can find it in the following way.
Press key combination
This section is hidden and not visible. To bring him to the light of day, click on the section right click and select command Change Drive Letter or Drive Path.
A new window will open, click on the button Add and select a free drive letter, like Y: or whatever.
I welcome you to my blog!
After reading this post, you will know how to find the installation folder in windows.
You may need this for various reasons, for example, you need to see if there are files in the installation directory with instructions for the program or its description. Or you want to uninstall the program and then check if all the files have been removed.
In general, for various reasons, you may need to find out the installation folder of the program.
The options proposed in this article on how to find out the installation folder of a Windows application work on all versions of this system. 
If you have a shortcut to this program on your desktop, then you can find out the installation folder if you just hover your mouse cursor over it. Then in the pop-up window you will see the location of this program.
More detailed information about where the installation Windows folder, can be obtained by right-clicking on the shortcut and selecting "Properties" from the menu. In the tab "Shortcut" you will see where the program is located.
In the “Object” field, the path to the executable file is shown and you can see how it is called. This is useful when the shortcut has a different name or the application is new and not yet familiar to you.
In the “Working folder” field, the path to the application installation directory is indicated.
Applications that come with Windows have a slightly different look in the shortcut properties.
There is no working folder specified here, only an object. Category %windir% , indicates that the application is located in the Windows system directory, on which drive it is located, is not indicated here. The %% variables replace showing the drive where the Windows directory is located.
Next is the path to the application and its name is indicated. Which is very useful, since in Windows many applications have not entirely clear names. And at first glance, you can’t guess what kind of application it is.
If you click on the “File Location” button, you will immediately go to the directory with the program.

Hello friends! In yesterday's article, we are with you, we did all this with the WinToolkit 1.5 program, today I suggest you do the same, but with the help of command line and the Windows Deployment Kit (Windows ADK).
How to select one necessary edition from a common Windows 7 distribution containing all editions of the operating system and create a separate distribution based on it. Using the command line and the Windows Deployment Kit (Windows ADK)
All actions are performed on a computer with installed Windows 8.1.
Let's start by connecting the ISO- Windows image 7 to the virtual drive.
Then we create a folder on the hard drive with a simple name " 7 " and copy the contents of the Windows 7 ISO image into this folder. I will create folder 7 on the drive (D:).
Any ISO image of Windows 7 has an image file install.wim which is in the folder sources, this image contains the packaged installation files operating system.
There can be several operating systems in the image, and each has its own index. In order to find out how many systems are in the install.wim image and what indexes they have, open the command line and enter the command:
Dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:D:\7\sources\install.wim
As you can see, the install.wim image file contains all editions of the operating Windows systems 7: Home Basic (Home Basic), Home Premium (Home Extended), Professional (Professional), Ultimate (Maximum). For example, we export from this image Windows 7 Ultimate (Maximum), has index: 4.
The next command is to export a Windows 7 Ultimate image from a WIM file (index: 4)to disk (D:) to folder 7.
Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:D:\7\sources\install.wim /SourceIndex:4 /DestinationImageFile:D:\7\install.wim /Compress:maximum
Export image
[==========================100.0%==========================]
Operation completed successfully.
Parameter /compress specifies the type of compression, and the parameter maximum provides the maximum degree of image compression.
On disk (D:), in folder 7, a WIM image file was created containing installation files for only one edition Windows 7 Ultimate (Maximum),
check the image with the command:
Dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:D:\7\install.wim
As you can see, the image contains one edition of Windows 7 - Ultimate (Maximum).
Move the install.wim file to the sources folder Windows distribution 7.
Replace the file in the destination folder.
The install.wim file has been moved to the sources folder of the Windows 7 distribution.
Go to the sources folder, find and open the file ei.cfg , modify its contents and save.
All that remains for us is to build the ISO image of Windows 7 Ultimate (Maximum) with the new WIM file. You can do it for a fee program UltraISO, but today we are working on a free command line, so we download and install the deployment kit and Windows scores(Windows ADK).
Installing the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK)
Download the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) to upgrade to Windows 8.1 from the link
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39982
and install it
After installation, we find in Windows applications 8.1 deployment tools environment, which is a command line window and run it.
Enter the command that will create a generic ISO image of Windows 7 Ultimate (Maximum) with a new WIM file:
Oscdimg /u2 /m /bootdata:2#p0,e,bD:\7\boot\Etfsboot.com#pef,e,bD:\7\efi\microsoft\boot\Efisys.bin D:\7 D:\ Windows7Ultimate.iso
u2, This file system UDF, and m- the size of the image is unlimited.
b - boot sector write down etfsboot.com, the path to the etfsboot.com file when specified b(boot) written without a space /bD:\7\boot\etfsboot.com
D:\7- create an image from files and folders located on partition D in folder 7
D:\Windows7Ultimate.iso- place the created image on partition D
name the iso image Windows7Ultimate.iso
On disk (D:) an ISO image of Windows 7 Ultimate is created with the name Windows7Ultimate.iso
If you boot a computer or laptop from it, then the Windows 7 installation process will begin in the usual way.
Friends, you can also remove an unnecessary image from a WIM file with the command:
dism /Delete-Image /ImageFile:D:\7\sources\install.wim /Index:1
D:\7\sources\install.wim- path to the WIM file.
Index:1- the index of the operating system revision to be removed from the WIM file.
Writing about something new is, of course, very useful and interesting, but today I want to sum up, as it were, such a very important issue as installation (reinstallation) of the operating system, and more specifically, the systems Windows 7 And Windows XP.
The Windows installation process can be described in one article, and I did it, but I also looked at articles that in one way or another relate to installing the operating system, and I realized that it would be nice to write an article in which to lay out all these articles in stages and write to him a small comment, which actually I will do now. This will be the content of the book “How to Install Windows”, with links to useful material from this blog.
If you still do not understand what I want to do, then read on, now everything will become clear :).
If it already happened that Windows won't boot and some kind of error appears, the computer restarts itself, etc. Then you don’t need to immediately start reinstalling the operating system.
Trying to restore Windows
- Perhaps you have a common error with the bootloader “BOOTMGR is missing” to fix it, read the article
- If appears blue screen death, then we look at the article
- If you get another error and the computer does not turn on, then see another article.
If the weight of attempts to restore Windows did not bring results, and you decided to reinstall the system, then you first need to prepare, save necessary information, prepare your Windows disc, and set up your computer.
Preparing to install Windows
- First of all, we save the necessary information that is on drive C, it will have to be formatted, and this will destroy all files. I wrote about how to save information in an article.
- If you do not yet have an installation disk, or a USB flash drive with Windows, then you need to create it. How to create installation disk written in the article. And about how to create a USB flash drive for installing the OS, read here.
- Now you need to set the BIOS to boot from a CD / DVD drive, or a USB flash drive. I wrote about this in detail in articles and.
It seems to be prepared, make yourself some tea and you can safely proceed to Windows installation 7 or XP.
Windows installation process
- If you are installing Windows 7, then we read the article and do everything as it is written there.
- To install Windows XP, do everything as it is written in the article
- Install Windows 8 according to these instructions:.
During the installation process, a variety of errors may appear. Therefore, I will create another item with problems during the Windows installation process, and I will replenish it from time to time.
Problems Installing Windows
- I had problems with a very long installation of Windows 7, I wrote about this in detail in the article
- Another tip that will come in handy when installing the operating system for the first time:.
After installation…
Upon completion of the installation of Windows, the most difficult begins :), installing drivers, programs, settings, etc.
- Read the article
- Check out this blog for more useful tips, which can and should be done after installing the operating system.
I think that such a selection of articles that are simply necessary when installing Windows will help you install the system yourself and thereby save money, and possibly time.
There is nothing difficult in this, you just need to carefully read and everything will work out. And most importantly, you will study only once, and you can reinstall Windows at least every day, just kidding 🙂 every day is better not to.
As new articles are written, this page will be updated and supplemented. Good luck friends!
