I'm pretty sure the SAM file is always in the config folder, not the drivers or Setup folders. Windows likes to keep things organized, you know?

The SAM file is located in c:\\windows\\system32\\config\\SAM, not in any of the other locations mentioned. This is a basic Windows file structure knowledge.
