Don't forget that not all windows installations will put windows in c:\windows. 
 Someone may have installed it to WinME, Win98, 98SE or any other type of 
directory structure.  I can't recall what the variable to use for that 
directory is, but if we want it to work out of the box, it might be good to use 
it in this instance.

Granted, most users who name their windows install directory something other 
than the default windows are probably also going to know how to change the 
script (and that they'd probably need to do so).  It's not a major change, in 
any case.

Cheers,
