[What is OOBE?]

What is that? I'm just curious nothing life threating here.

[Glad to be here]

Well I glad to be on such a seemingly esteemed forum. The name also almost made me think it was the MSDN forum for a sec. XD

but i'm glad to find you guys because this seems like an ENTIRE forum of SERIOUS computer users. unlike other fourms... which i won't mention.

All in all i hope your as happy to see me as i am to see this forum :-)

[Why is the Windows File Protection Greyed Out?]

Well the Topic says the problem entirely

but here is a little more info

I am trying to make the install faster and i saw the setup load like 10x faster but it wasn't that dramatic that i should lose that protection from my stupidity. so i wanted it back to test some other features with it. but when i went to change it back it said enabled and i was like HUH? PLUS it was greyed out! so even if i wanted it disabled i couldn't do it. so what should i do? Preferably i don't want to restart on my Xp version
