GIAC Certified Forensic Analyst (GCFA) — Question 13

You work as a Network Administrator for Perfect Solutions Inc. You install Windows 98 on a computer. By default, which of the following folders does Windows 98 setup use to keep the registry tools?

Answer options

• A. $SYSTEMROOT$REGISTRY
• B. $SYSTEMROOT$WINDOWS
• C. $SYSTEMROOT$WINDOWSREGISTRY
• D. $SYSTEMROOT$WINDOWSSYSTEM32

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as Windows 98 uses the $SYSTEMROOT$WINDOWS directory by default to store its registry tools. Options A and C are incorrect because they suggest non-existent paths for registry storage, and D refers to the system32 folder, which contains system files rather than registry tools.
