How to sign a MS file again that has been modified by me

[Guest]

For the raisons of deployment, I modified some source system files and I want
to know how to sign those so that the Microsoft Signature will be trusted and
set again.
Thanks for your support,
John

You cannot and you should not have modified our files and you cannot resign
them as Microsoft.
Singing is to avoid just this sort of behaviour in that you should not be
able to produce a modified version of one of our system files and then pass
it off as an original and valid Microsoft signed file. This would be a huge
security risk.
