I highly doubt you'll find those files. And I seriously doubt if such a utility exists, it will ever make it out into the public. This would totally blow RIM's security model out the water. As it is now, if a device is lost, I can lock it and secure the thing from my blackberry if need be with 3rd party software. Now picture this....

You work in a highly secure environment, top secret clearances and all that. You have a blackberry for offsite usage, with a hefty security policy to prevent anyone from accessing data on your device should it be lost/stolen/whatever.

Now ITPolicy.exe is made public.

Now any Joe Blow that finds your blackberry can blow the policy away and view anything and everything on it. If you happen to have custom apps on there that access internal databases, whether they contain national security info, credit card info or just a database of email addresses.


Not a good idea IMO.
