Certainly you can drop a clean copy of system.mdw, however in a properly
secured database, you wouldn't be able to then open it.
Anyway, if you have played with security and messed up the default
system.mdw workgroup, yes you can copy a clean one from another machine.
It depends on your operating system, so you could put it where it exists
now.
However, if you are totally locked out of a database that has been secured,
you won't be able to now get in.
You may have more than one mdw on your machine. That's the first step in
securing a database - create a new workgroup. You should never be modifying
the standard system.mdw. You may find the following article helpful
