Here's code for Delphi 2.x:  (don't know about delphi 1.x)

  Function WindowsPath:String;
  {returns the directory of C:\WINDOWS\ on the current machine}
  var d:integer;
    begin
      setlength(result,500);
      d:=getwindowsdirectory(pchar(result),500);
      setlength(result,d);
      result:=fixpath(result,result);
    end;
