Can you modify the source code of Windows?

No, you cannot (unless you work for Microsoft). Windows is already 'compiled' -- meaning that the 'source code' is 'translated' to code that only computers understand. It is distributed in its compiled form only.\n\nIf you want to see the source code of your operating system (and even modify and recompile it) a good choice would be Linux (see http://DistroWatch.com for some 'flavors') or perhaps BSD -- see http://www.freebsd.org or http://www.netbsd.org\n\nThe best of these is probably Linux. I recommend Ubuntu as the best Linux flavor in this case (http://ubuntulinux.org) because it is easy to use and yet very open, you can get into the core of the operating system easily.

I could, but you are going to have to be more specific.  What kind of files?  Most of the time you can copy/paste.

Use a decompiler such as Reverse Engineering Compiler. \n\nhttp://www.backerstreet.com/rec/rec.htm

Try to update windows !

In windows, right click the file and go to properties.Alternatively select the file and press Alt+Enter.then at the bottom of that window  uncheck the 'Read Only' check-box.\n\nHowever note that the question is not clear.You said 'program' and I had to interpret it as a 'file' because there is no way that you can alter a program without having its source code or by using some what advanced tools like hex-editors,disassemblers,etc.However if you have the source code, you can open it with a suitable program and recompile it with the suitable compiler.You need to recognize the language in which it is written.

No easily. Its opensource. Get the source comment out the lines that allow you get to the menu and recompile. (this is much more work than an average computer want to get into)

A decompiler can convert executable to source code. It will not be exactly as the orginal code but some what similar. Also, there is no complete decompiler for all executables.

Hahahah! My brother! Why on earth would you want to use C++ to mod a WIN98? xp owns all. Seriously. But do you face any problems? You might because of the "tree" format of the 95 and below, but anything above would be IDEAL for C++ and pearl if you know what to do first

I can't say I even undertand the question.\n\nIn Windows XP Professional and higher, you can right click on a file (EXEs included) and change the permissions in the "Security" tab, adding and removing users of the local system or NT domain...

you cannot do it.  Its a flaw in Windows operating system. Sorry

you could probably buy a program that will convert that to something thing Windows could understand.  like an EXE file or something

Start > Run > Type: regedit\nThe OK\n\nBUT BE VERY CAREFUL!\n\nDeleting stuff out the registry is risky stuff, could mess up windows!\n\nYou have been warned.
