caps_buster Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Guys, I searched but did not find any usable solution how to disable the Windows file protection, aka WFP in Windows 7. All I manage to find is a register switch for this, yet it require running debudger, so, nothing really usefull... Basicaly it is SFCDisable set to 1 (or create if not exist) in registry entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogonhttp://superuser.com/questions/479499/how-to-disable-windows-file-protection-in-windows-xp-or-7-from-registry "You have to attach a kernel debugger before setting the value to 1 will actually do anything." Is not there are any way?And I don't mean tweaking the created files not to be protected like in this link:http://windows7themes.net/en-us/how-to-disable-windows-7-file-protection/ Anyone?I would love to replace the current Notepad with Notepad2, but... WFP protect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 no, there is no WFP in Windows since Vista. You have to take ownership of the file. But this is bad. Use Image File Execution Options (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options) to redirect notepad.exe calls by modify the Debuggers value to notepad2.

caps_buster Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 No WFP since Vista? Sounds good then, or it is not? Can we modify system files w/o problems, or...? There is (in the Image File Execution Options) these registry subfolders:DllNXOptionsGoogleUpdate.exeIEInstal.exe...and that it is. How I take the ownership of the Notepad.exe, so I can replace it by my file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generated the answer to this question only: How to disable Windows File Protection in Windows 7 and/or XP from Registry? Which BTW is anyway not the "right" answer (for XP), that kb provides only a way to temporarily disable the SFC/WFP, and you wouild normally use the empty SFCfiles.dll trick or an edited SFC.DLL: http://www.vorck.com/windows/software.html Anyone?
