It's not necessary to modify a file in the installation directory. Using
inherited stylesheets, you can create a very small file in=
$UserBaseDirectory
which tweaks the canonical stylesheet. Here's some code which creates such=
a
file in the right location.
nb = NotebookPut[
Notebook[{Cell[
StyleData[
StyleDefinitions ->
FrontEnd`FileName[{"Wolfram", "Reference.nb"}]]],
Cell[StyleData[All, "Working"], Magnification -> 1.25]}]];
CreateDirectory[
ToFileName[{$UserBaseDirectory, "SystemFiles", "FrontEnd",
"StyleSheets", "Wolfram"}]];
NotebookSave[nb,
ToFileName[{$UserBaseDirectory, "SystemFiles", "FrontEnd",
"StyleSheets", "Wolfram"}, "Reference.nb"]];
NotebookClose[nb];
