Can I enable or disable the FBWP through an application without having to
reboot the system? I want to use the feature so that if the user turns off
the system intermittently (with out proper shutdown), no system files get
corrupted. Currently, in such cases, I get errors such as,
1. blue screen
2. systemconfig.sys is corrupt or not found,
3. wladp32.dll corrupt or not found and .....so on. The only solution is to
reload the image.
 
EWF anf FBWF can be manipulated programmatically through teh EWf or FBWF
APIs (these ship with the embedded product), or through calling the cmd line
management tool EWFMGR.exe or FBWFMGR.exe.

These can be used to enable or disable the filter. However, every enable or
disable action will require a reboot, as the filter actions are implemented
on shutdown of the system.

Having the filter enables will certinaly reduce the likelihood of corruption
occurring when the system is unexpectedly shut down, but will not eliminate
the possiblity entirely.
 
Thankjs. When the FBWF is enabled, how do I access the add or alter the
registry keys thru an application - if user changes the computer name, join a
network domain etc etc. Which SPECIFIC files do I need to commit? (Assuming I
do not want to commit the entire overlay)
