Technically, the Windows directory is either:
C:\Windows
-or-
C:\WinNT
But it really doesn't matter, I executed the program from my secondary (D:)
folder where I take all download pacakges and had no problem with it.nt

Hello everyone,
I have a few questions about this timezone editor program. It says unzip
the file into your windows directory, does that mean I would move the file
into the directory and then unzip it, or would I unzip it first before I
move it? Also, where is the windows directory? I have never had to go in
there, so I don't know how to get to it. Thanks in advance to anyone who
can answer my questions!
Take care,
Lisa
