I had recently posted a question about my
logon, and I got a result which was a link to a
site. It said it could be a problem with my
Winlogon.exe or Csrss.exe. I have an idea to
use the Linux (DSL) to replace the files and
solve the problem. Wat I would like to ask is-
can Linux do that? Can it access
C:\WINDOWS\System32? Please tell me...
-thnxx

Why not just run a Windows Repair?

Linux with the new ntfs driver can write to a ntfs formatted drive. In almost all cases the files can be replaced or whatever except a few that are in special positions.

You can try it, if worse comes to worse consider getting data off then try repair.
