Disable WFP -- Do I understand this right?

[gai-jin]

On unattended.msfn.org/xp/wfp.htm I think its saying I can use either the modified sfc file or just add the registry key as directed. Am I reading this right, or are both required?

[Denney]

Both files are required to disable WFP.

[gai-jin]

Okay, then what am I missing. It says clearly on that page that the sfc file method is NOT recommended, as if there is another method. Then it presents the reg key thing, so I thought that was the other method.

What is the recommended method?

[Aaron]

There is no other method. Disabling WFP on a whole isn't recommended at all for non-experienced/novice users because you'll be more prone to virus infections to important windows system files.

except maybe if you somehow created a sort of system where it disables WFP at t-12 or sometime earlier, do whatever you want, and re-enable WFP at GuiRunOnce.
