    System32...

    I can't help to be very curious
    about what the number "32"
    actually means in the system
    name folder "System32"

    Now, I know what System32 is.
    But I have no freakin' idea
    what 32 is.
    And I cant seem to find any
    answer to my question anywhere
    on the internet! And that only
    makes me even more curious!

    Please! anyone! share your
    knowlege with me! =)

    32bit OS

    As opposed to 16 bit or 64bit OS

    actually 32 bit applications and associated files.. you can have a "32" directory on 64 bit systems as well.. I guess somebody is on about windoze where they needed to differentiate the 32 bit dll's from the 16 and 8 bit dlls that live in the system directory.

    and Seanux (newbie) just came under my radar.. somebody better watch out for making a n00bish statement or talking crap eh? ;) I don't "mock" people.. when I want somebody I go for the throat.. 2+2 .. simples XD
