Stopping Windows File Protection

J

J. Timothy

Hello -- I'm using Win XP SP2 and I log on and logoff via the "welcome
screen". Just recently I have noticed something unusual occurring when I go
to logoff. On the 'welcome' screen there is a listing of what is happening
in the process, a dialogue of sorts, where one sees "Playing logoff sound"
and "Saving User Settings" etc., and then you either logoff without
restarting the PC or you log off and turn off the PC.

Just recently in the last couple of days, when I go to logoff, I see
something new on the 'welcome' page. It's very fleeting and last only a
second or two, but from what I can catch of it, the message has something to
do with "Windows File Protection". There's something in front of those
words, and something after, as well, but those three words I can distinctly
make out. Does anyone know what this would be? Why has it not always
appeared?

Thank you.

WFP (Windows File Protection) can not be disabled and since it is there to
protect your system files, you shouldn't want to do it. Based on what you
are saying, WFP is being notified that something has replaced or deleted
some protected files. It then goes to the dllcache directory and puts the
files back in place.

To see what it is doing, simply look in your event log as WFP will log these
events and list the files that are being affected.

I hope this helps.

In previous versions of Windows, there was a condition called
"DLLHell". This happened when a program installed a DLL or
Dynamic Link Library module that replaced one installed by the
OS. Erratic operation would result and some other application
might stop working. XP overcomes that with WFP, Windows
File Protection. The core operating system files are monitored
for a specific version. A program can install and overwrite a DLL
but Windows will quietly put the "Official" version module back
in place. The message you saw was probably "A file required by
Windows has been replaced..." XP does this operation all by
itself. Only when the source module can't be located, XP will
start SFC or System File Checker. This tool re-populates a
folder C:\Windows\System32\Dllcache - that keeps the latest
version of XP's core components, so WFP can put the missing,
renamed,deleted or updated DLL or .Exe file back in place with
the system monitored version.

Hi Kelly,

I'm using OE with OEQuoteFix. I also use Notepad to compose most messages,
then paste into OE.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "such a format". Outside of one
formatting mistake that I see in my previous post, it looks alright to me.
Must be OEQuoteFix.

Have noticed for a great while that your replies have square symbols, other
oddities and large spaces in-between. Didn't realize QF did that nor have
noticed this among any other replies.

Hi Kelly,

Mostly I use the character on purpose. I use Alt + 0141 to get the .

For example...
Select: /BOOTLOG

I don't know about the big spaces and other oddities. The only oddity that
I use on pupose is the Alt + 0141.
