Re: %systemroot%\system32



You can't use variables such as %systemroot% in searching, but you can use
them in the address bar in Windows explorer. Type %systemroot%\system
there, press Enter, and the folder will open. You'll also see its actual
name in the address bar.

"System" and "System32" are two different folders with two different
functions. The contents of %systemroot%\system tend to be compatibility
components. There's nothing related to the registry there, so I don't
know why you'd need to find that folder in order to repair your registry.
