I've got this folder (Microsoft.VC90.CRT) in all of my Thief 2 working directories. Shouldn't these .dll files be in the system32 folder?

When Windows loads an EXE, it will look at DLL files in the same folder before looking in \windows\sys*. Some of the DLLs in the Thief folder are only for Thief, of course, like fmsel.dll and lgvid.dll. Others are there in case you don't already have them in \windows. The VC90 CRT files aren't needed by everyone (many already have them installed), so they're in a subfolder, and thus not enabled, by default. If the game is already working, they have probably already been installed in \windows (by another program or by some update to Windows itself).
