Haha, I have exactly the same approach :-)))

I think it’s a good policy, especially with Vista. I do the same ting
with services, and ironically, what I have found is that it’s much
easier to disable a service that looks pretty safe, but that you
actually need to boot/run, than to do the same for a driver.

What are the serious problems you ran into with LUAFV?
It’s there only so that apps which write to protected places they don’t have access to when running as a limited access user continue to work, by taking the write to a different place. Purely for app compat.
But users will continue to run it - are you implying that as a developer your filter is not compatible with luafv, or that as a user you want to disable it? The distinction is important.

I’ve also disabled it, and can only report that it has run for several
months without error. I haven’t looked at it more closely than that,

Hi all,
There’s a minifilter driver in Vista, called “luafv.sys” in Vista.
It is responsible for file virtualization, if this feature is enabled
in system policies.Because I got serious problems with the OS when the virtualization
was enabled, I decided to turn it off in policy editor. However,
I noticed that even if the virtualization is off, the “luafv” driver
is still active for some volumes.Did anyone tried to disable it completely ? Any problems with it ?
I disabled it and it seems to work fine.
(I mean set “4” into Start Type of appropriate registry key).L.
