This JavaScript will search your Windows PC for the existence of a copy of your system password file (SAM) in the repair directory. This script does seperate searches for WINNT and WINDOWS directories. This code contains some VB script so it only works accuratly in IE browsers. NOTE: I couldn't get the code to work right when searches for both c:\winnt\repair\sam AND c:\windows\repair\sam were down on same page...I would get it to work in a machine with WINDOWS directory just fine but it then would be buggy with WINNT directories so I split up each search into seperate pages and make sure the directories are correct before checking for the file or it gives false results. UPDATE: As of WinXP SP2 this script does not seem to work correctly.
