Did it ever make since for everybody and their brother to install
everything under c:\windows\system32\? That everything in system32
nightmare scares me security wise and functionality wise. WinVistA
fixes that through file and registry system virtualization - that
means even more places for your files.
Some of the IIS stuff is in the registry and some in metabase and some
in files. At least with nix, all the locations can be searched with a
single find command - not so in windows.
If you modify something in Linux using a GUI, but need
the text file equivalent, the following command can help.
touch /tmp/now
install your app or make changes using a gui
find / -newer /tmp/now | grep -v /proc/
There are a few improvements on this, but that can get you started.
