that is exactly how i'm running now XPized XP (SP2) with sfcfiles hack and WFP enabled i really preffer it this way, i like to keep windows "thinking" it has everything under WFP and i can change my system files as long as they are not in use this is not a problem of this pack, every shellpack will have the same problems (replacing the system files and so on) and for me it doesn't matter. for the moment i would use the temporaly solution by @keytotime keeping in mind the issue with WFP.
