Question: I have a **need to find ALL files on my hard drive** (in the C: partition), regardless of permissions.
(Windows XP Pro, using C#)

In an earlier question, I was told:

I've worked with Windows for years, and this is the first time that I have heard about a SYSTEM user (which explains many frustrations I have had in the past). I had assumed that the "Administrator" was similar to the "root" user in UNIX, that has access to everything.

**In Windows, is there an ultimate user that owns EVERYTHING?**

If so, who is that user?

If so, how do I run my C# program as that user so I can see all the files?

If not, is there some other method? (Other programs do it.)

Answer: 
I've had this problem. It's because your browser now assumes /page/ is the root where it should start looking for css files etc, Simply put:

```
<base href="/"> 

```

In your 

```
<head>.

```

Your browser will now strt looking for css files etc from the root of your website.

**edit: nvm, messed up formatting because posting from my iPod but I see you resolved the issue already :)**
To solve this issue, I had to put 

in the head of my page. The javascript files I had to make absolute paths since different browsers handle the base tag differently.
