We are using Windows every day, but are you familiar with its system files? The so-called system files generally refers to the windows are closely related to the normal operation of the system can not be separated from the files. Most of these files are located under the System32 directory (X:\Windows\System32\) and the System file backup directory Dllcache (X:\Windows\System32\Dllcache\) ("X" is the partition where your XP system is located. They are generally in the form of DLL files, followed by CPL (Control surface version) and other formats of the file.
The elements of the appearance of Windows (icons, bitmaps, dialogs, text, and so on) are stored in these files, such as the forward and backward button patterns above the toolbar of explorer and IE, in the form of bitmaps and Shell32.dll files.
