how WOULD i go about opening a system file (.sys)1. Try notepad.
2. What are you up to? oh NOTHING.. just playing with stuff..

im waiting for my cds and when i get them im going to PLAY with stuff so i can learn more about windows and then reformat..


its in a language i dont understand. maybe a complier would decode it?Compilers compile, not decompile, I believe

Just opening a random system file = waste of time, to be honest.then how do i learn about the operating systems?? without breaking it down into code.Go to university

You've only just started learning C++... don't run before you can walk.Don't ever edit a system file.

Computer Stuff 101 class.i get bored... im going to a four  yr in about 2 yrs after i get done with my local jcI can send you a pretty dangerous hex editor if you really want to screw things up...could you.. i got an old machine i can play with..If you don't KNOW what you are doing there is no POINT. If you must mess around, get an old computer and learn how to edit config.sys and autoexec.bati do have an old computer set aside for my experiments. its an old gateway and i have the cds so when i do screw it up i can reformat.
