Download the free application ; FreshUI.exe
In which is a setting to turn off Windows File Protection.....
It's quite a small, easy to use program, with allot of other Window's
"tweaks".
Just go to http://www.freshdevices.com/ and scroll down to "Fresh UI" - the
free tweaking tool.

Can you describe what it does to disable WFP so I don't have to
download it?
Just curious how it works...

This article has one interesting link in the references section.

Might be worth playing with. I suppose it depends on whether
the undocumented API stays put or not, as to whether it
works.

So that I can remove windows media player and IE files. Yes, I have a
good reason to do this.

Go guy.

You can't remove IE files because IE is part of Windows Operating system
.. This Sounds crazy but true. As far as Windows Media Player is
concerned, how about deleting the .exe and associated DLLs manually and
then running CCleaner to remove the registry entries.
If you don't like IE then you don't have to update it to IE7 and/or IE8
and you should be OK. However, IE6 is not supported by many sites such
as Google, YouTube etc so you need to have FF or something else to use
these sites. I believe even Yahoo and Hotmail have stopped supporting
IE6 but as I have said you don't have to update/upgrade it if you don't
need it though security might be an issue you need to consider.

In answer to your question; locate the following registry key (in
Regedit.exe) :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
....and then change (or add) the [Dword] value named "SFCDisable" and set
it's value to "1"
....then reboot.
*Note - Please exercise care when editing the registry, always create a
backup and / or create a 'System Restore' point first.

This was a big part of MS's defense in the lawsuit against them. They
said that IE was a part of the OS and I think in later releases of
Windows that made that even more true.
It's also true in their terminology. When they refer to favorites,
not as an option within IE, but for the whole OS, they mean the
favorites that have been named favorites in IE, that are listed in IE,
and that are used by IE.
Also what they devote a whole screen to and list in the Control Panel,
"Internet Options" such as home page, browsing history, tabs, search,
security, privacy, content, popups and a lot more. They call it
"Internet Options" but they are really IE options, and their settings
don't affect how other webbrowsers like FF work. I find it
misleading and therefore annoying, Misleading to a lot of other
people far more than it has misled me, I'll bet. Maybe once no
browser but IE worked with Windows, but that was 10 or 20 years ago.
They should make their terminology consistent with the facts.
Not only that, isn't it so that Windows updates can only be retrieved
actively by use of IE? It's easy to forget that when automatic
updates works well, and especially if that is all one uses, but if
something goes wrong, and/or maybe if one wants some special MS
software that isn't normally provided**, one can't fetch it with FF or
anything other than IE.
**I don't have an example of this in mind right now, and I don't know
if MS applies this same restrictive rule to files like that, but they
do to updating IE or Windows.

One small difference, at least I think it's a difference from prior
versions. When I clicked on Internet Options in a drop-down menu
(Tools?) from IE8, I couldn't close IE until after I closed Internet
Options (slightly as if they were IE options),
But when I went to Control Panel, I could still open Internet Options
by itself. So it's a tiny difference, and they shoudl be called
Internet Explorer options.

See what your saying, but there are situations where for security
reasons software has to be removed from a system.
