Shutting of WFP without hacking DLLs on XP?

Featured Replies

Hi all,

I am wondering if this works on XP as well. I ran across this by accident and was asked if it works in XP but I don't use XP.

If you want WFP shut off, just specify invalid paths in the registry, like so:

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","SFCDllCacheDir",,"z:"

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Windows File Protection","SFCDllCacheDir",,"z:"

When these lines are inserted into one of the HIVE inf files before installing, this shuts WFP off.

No DLLs to hack.

There will be an error message in the Windows log saying WFP cannot find a valid path.

Anyone wanna try? BTW for any reg change to take effect, Explorer must be restarted.

If I may, it doesn't surprise me you don't have them, unless I read this wrongly:
