Q: 

Decoding a PRF file

Is there any way to decode a PICS Rules File? Contains settings and preferences used by the Windows operating system.

The file is given by:

Q:F]9y3n5|dp:n4hU)qbs;!&-bzh

A: 

The PICSRules spec defines what PICS rules should look like. I don't think your file is one of those.

Is that the entire file contents above?

Are you sure that it's definitely a PICS rules file? There are many file types which use the .prf extension, perhaps it's one of those.

that was all i could get from the file after opening it in notepad. it is in encrypted form, and wanted to make some changes, if i could decrypt it. it is a system file and i think it got corrupted.
