System files are the various files that control aspects of the operating system of a computer. Many of them fall into the various other categories here, such as Configuration files, Executables, Filesystem, Firmware, Fonts, Help files, Metadata, Temporary files, and just about anything else. However, there are some that are hard to fit into any other category, so this category is there for them.
