to capture ?

C:\Windows\System32\Config\SAM
which is the HKU hive of your registry.

DO NOT mess around with this or other hive files.

You need your system sam file because that is what contains user/groups/and password
hashes. Use a firewall and complex passwords to protect your computer and if you are
not on a network sharing files/printers with other users then disable file and print
sharing in the properties of your network adapter. --- Steve
