Windows File Protection Guide

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: TotalRecall

TechSpot has written a guide on Windows File Protection which is used in both Win2k and WinXp. Here's a snip:

WFP designates certain files as important system files, initially those which are installed during the initial installation of the system, i.e. all dll, exe, fon, ocx, sys & tff on the Windows 2000/XP CD & creates a backup of them in a dllcache folder. After using your system for a while you’ll likely also discover many other file types being protected in this way, e.g. ax, cpl, cpx, dll, exe, fon, inf, ocx, rsp, sys, tff & tlb files. By default these are cached into the %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\dllcache folder, where they will reside until WFP needs to restore a file with that copy. As you’ve probably aware, the dllcache folder can get quite large as a result, though later on in the guide I’ll show you how you set the maximum dllcache size.

Read on here.
