10.1. Important directories
NOTICE!
Loss of data!
Do not delete or modify these directories or their
contents, otherwise data may be lost or system
functionality may be impaired.
The first partition (C:\) contains the operating system, the applications and the
“Documents” folder for the configured users.
We have listed the most important directories below and described their contents.
C:\Users
This directory contains a folder per configured user. This folder contains all files and
folders required for starting and operating Windows®; this is hidden for security
reasons in the factory settings.
C:\Programs
This folder contains all files relating to the installed application.
C:\Windows
The main directory of the Windows® installation. This directory contains the
operating system files.
You will also find additional directories for system recovery (Recover),
troubleshooting (Tools) and subsequent installations or new installations (Drivers),
as necessary, on your PC. These directories (Drivers, Tools & Recover) are not on the
first partition (C:\) but can instead be found on other partitions. Depending on the
PC model, these partitions are designated D:\ or E:\.
NOTICE!
Loss of data!
Furthermore, the startup files for system restoration
and the Windows® 8 installation files are located in non-
rewritable partitions. These partitions are not visible
and cannot be deleted.
