Abstract
A system and method for enabling access to user-level data is described. One embodiment includes accessing a user-level portable executable (PE) file. In this embodiment, the boot-loader registry of a computer is modified during an installation period to include a reference to the user-level PE file. The operating system uses the reference during an early boot-time to image the PE file into memory as a boot-file.
