Disable Windows File Protection (Windows 2000/XP) Popular

Windows 2000 and XP include a feature called Windows File Protection (WFP), part of the System File Checker, which is intended to avoid some of the common DLL consistency issues. This feature may also block valid attempts to change system files and it can therefore be disabled using this tweak.

This tweak can be easily applied using WinGuides Tweak Manager.

Open your registry and find the key below.

Change the value of \"SFCDisable\" to equal \"ffffff9d\" to disable WFS or \"0\" to enable it. The other valid hexadecimal values are:


•1 - disabled, prompt at boot to re-enable
•2 - disabled at next boot only, no prompt to re-enable
•4 - enabled, with popups disabled
•ffffff9d - for completely disabled
Restart Windows for the change to take effect.

System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Winlogon]
Value Name: SFCDisable
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: 0 = enabled (default), ffffff9d = disabled
