I was just wondering if it is possible to read the system file? The file specifically that I am trying to read is C:\Windows\System32\Config\System. Obviously the last name in that string is the file name, but I have tried to open it with notepad so I can read it, but it is all garbage. I am trying to read it so that I know what it is in it. I keep getting a simple error of that file is corrupt. I have no where to replace it from unfortunately like Microsofts KB tells you to. I work in an enterprise enviroment and I was wondering, for the most part if I have two identical systems, if I can copy the system file from a known good working one. And use it on the system that is no longer functioning. If this is possible I wanted to go ahead and make sure that they look the same on the inside to make sure I wouldn’t be violating anything. Also, would this be violating any licensing? Please any help is much appreciated.
