Sorry, perhaps I needed to be a little more specific.
I deleted my *.sys from C:\ accidentaly. So I needed to know what's there so I can put it back. The hidden files are still there but besides config.sys (which is not hidden) I wonder if I deleted any other non hidden .sys files from C:\. Thanks.

No need for any of that. I went to another computer and checked. Config.sys was the only one, thanks.
