Default Two questions about Windows

Ok, I have Windows XP. The WINDOWS folder is on my C drive.
Where is bootup.ini located, and how can I view the system32 folder?
I know there is a system32 folder in C:/WINDOWS, but there's only a system folder.

Thank you to anybody who answeres.

I still don't see it, but I got to the folder anyways. I just unchecked "hide folders that make your system work proprely" And the SYSTEM32 folder appeared.

Thanks anyway.

Does anybody know where bootup.ini is?

So that's what the address bar is. Did not know.

I don't have an account at image shack.

Still, does anybody know where bootup.ini is?

I really don't think you should even be concerned with boot.ini if you are asking all these questions on how to find a file.
Try pressing start, then pressing Run.
Type in msconfig, press enter
Go to the boot.ini tab and you can do whatever you want from there.
