Which registry files will have content auto displayed in HTML in the FTK file content pane?

The correct response highlights that the files in question—SAM, Security, and System—are specifically designed to hold core security and configuration information for Windows operating systems. When these registry files are utilized within the FTK tool, their contents are readily parsed and displayed in a user-friendly HTML format in the file content pane.

The SAM (Security Account Manager) file contains user account information and password hashes, which makes it critical for security analysis. The Security file encompasses system security policies, and the System file maintains the system configuration and hardware profile data. Together, these files represent vital components of the Windows registry that FTK can interpret and display in a structured and accessible manner, allowing forensic examiners to analyze this information efficiently.

In contrast, other combinations of files listed do not share the same focus on security or directly relevant information types as effectively as the SAM, Security, and System files do. For instance, while Config, User, and Software files contain registry entries relevant to the operating system, they do not have the same direct impact or utility in forensic examinations in the way the correct option does. This specialization is why the first option doesn’t yield the same auto-display functionality.
