Then there seems to be something wrong with this article??? Am I not reading it right. What does this say to you?

When Windows starts up, WFP synchronizes (copies) the WFP settings from the following registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Windows File Protection

to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server

Reference this article:
"Registry Settings for Windows File Protection"
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=222473

The following registry key is the primary location for registry settings
for Windows File Protection/System File Checker:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

In addition, Windows File Protection/System File Checker settings may also
be located in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Windows File
Protection

This "Windows File Protection" key that everyone is wondering about, this
is only created if you configure changes in Group Policy
(start > run > gpedit.msc > Computer Configuration > Administrative
Templates > System > Windows File Protection)

So, although 222913 is not quite clear, it isn't "lying": The registry
values WILL be synchronized, if they they exist.
Unfortunately, it is not documented that the "Windows File Protection" key
is not created unless GP changes are made

Thanks Jason for making that clear. I just wasn't sure if I was reading the article correctly. I guess I was I just didn't know what you pointed out.
