Stange trecing of nt!NtOpenFile (winxp) Hi. I trying to find out which files can't be opened by system on boot, so i tried this: bp nt!NtOpenFile "g poi(esp);j(eax==0)'gc';''" (yes, i know status other than 0(eax==0) might actually be a success too,cause it's NTSTATUS) and caught this: f7bfd1ec 804dd4a1 badb0d00 f7bfd264 00000000 nt!KiFastCallEntry+... 18 Jan 2010 09:44
