Windows File Protection

If you're having problems getting some of these customizations to work, its most probably because of your Windows File Protection or WFP.

Whenever windows detects that a system file isnt the one that was packaged with Windows, then it attempts to replace the modified version, with the one off the Windows CD. This means, when you're installing your windows with your modified files in your $$\System32 directory, on the next boot, they will be replaced by the origional windows versions.

There are two ways to get around this.

1. Eject your CD when windows has finished copying all the files to the HDD (after the dos portion of the windows install)

2. Disable WFP alltogeather.

To disable your WFP, add this to a reg file (put it in notepad, save it as a .reg):

CODE 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogonAdd]"SFCDisable"=dword:FFFFFF9D

To re-enable your Windows File Protection later on, modify "SFCDisable" to read 0 by navigating to that key using regedit.

its amazing what u can do if u read :)
