Change Root Directory Location

Yes, during the install when it asks if you would like to use C:\winnt as the directory, you can change it then. Once installed I think it cannot be accomplished.
Good luck!

I agree with the above answer, in that during the install, during the blue-screen Setup Program phase, you are prompted to enter in the Windows default folder name. Make it something different.
The only problem with this idea is that a lot of viruses write to the %windir% directory, which is defined to point to whatever name you give the Winnt folder.
Now, you can change the %windir% variable name, but then that will only cause problems when real programs call the variable. They will not getto what they need to get to.
Please keep this in mind. You might stop some simple, hard-coded viruses, but a smart virus writer will use the variable name.
And a lot of the viruses do use the variable name.
