( you can see Start - Control Panel - Program Add/Remove ^^;; i.e Internet explorer, Microsoft word 2003, Microsoft powerpoint, etc..) I knew how to get a hardware information.

I use visual studio .net 2003 but I don't have Microsoft.Win32 namespace^^;; make project - SolutionExplorer - Reference - Reference Add( translate Korean ) I can't see it. How to get Microsoft.Win32??^^;; System.Environment too...^^;; Nothing!! But gonzo!!

It is not in a separate assembly. Although named with a different namespace these classes (Registry etc) is located in mscorlib (this one is normally always referenced - its the base for every .Net app). Putting a using Microsoft.Win32 at the top of your class(es) should just be fine.
