Re: Corrupt $Secure file

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry





My question is: what is the file $Secure

The $Secure is a file which contains all security descriptors of all files
on a NTFS volume
See more info on NTFS here :

and what may have corrupted the
file.

Good question; any application, and/or user who has access to the disk and
can write data bypassing NTFS file system prehaps ?

Really, there are no answers for that question, unless it repeats at a
predictable pattern / period, and you go into a lot of debugging of your OS,
including applications and NTFS or other IO drivers in the stack.
