    -System.ini has not been used actively by windows since Windows 3.1 and has only been present since for backwards compatibility for programs that expect it.
    -the user= line is invalid and doesn't do anything.
    All I found in searching online for that is links to articles by morons.
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

    This has to be the biggest nonsense I have seen in a long time.  Define "hacked", why would those files represent anything?

    If you want to even have a chance at being taken seriously, link to where you saw this.
