Windows File Protection Disable

WFP ( Windows File Protection ) is there to protect the core system files of Windows XP from being changed, whether accidentally or otherwise. This is of more value if your system is accessible by multiple users. Explained in a simple way WFP is used to make sure you don't accidentally mess up something you should not have. It utilizes CPU cycles that could be put to better use in your other applications. It also wastes hard drive space for the cache folder, etc. By default WFP will cache very large amounts of Protected System files ( The size is dependant on hard drive space). It can be argued that this makes sense, but against this is the cost of slowing down the computer and losing so much hard drive space. Before proceeding, I add a caution here this involves editing the Registry and if you are not au fait with this procedure stop reading here. Go to :-

Start > Run In the box type without the quotes “ regedit “ Scroll to :- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon In the left-hand window scroll down to :- SFCDisable Right click Modify Change the hexadecimal (DWORD Value) The current will be Value Data: (0 = enabled (default),

The value should be: - "1" for disabled.

Keep a record of what you have done in order that you can always go back. This advice applies to all changes which you make to the registry
