The Open System Files command automatically loads a variety of operating system files into the editor.  On Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows Me, the following files are opened:

autoexec.bat

config.sys

system.ini

win.ini

On Windows NT, 2000 and XP, the following files are also opened:

If the command is invoked while one or more system files are already open, an option is provided to close these files.

It is advisable to exercise extreme caution when editing files of this nature, and to always keep a backup copy of the original file.
