Sorry, I don't know - and I would like to warn you from attempting to
do so. You will simply risk to damage Windows file system, which can
lead to corrupted files up to system crashes. Only virusses would
attempt something similar IMO (but my imagination is limited - maybe
you've got a legitimate reason for what you're after). Personally, I
wouldn't even think of fiddling with the file system behind Window's
back. I don't believe your users will appreciate what you're after.
Best regards
