I am trying to debug the IFS Kit FastFAT code sample. To copy my compiled
file over the Windows default fastfat.sys, I have to turn the Windows 2000
File Protection feature off. I tried all the tricks that I know but non of
them works. I am running Windows 2000 SP2. Can anyone help on that.
Thanks,
Ahmed

Look for the SFC* entries in \HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. SFCDisable is used to control WFP depending
on its value as follows:
0 = WFP is enabled (default)
1 = disabled but with a warning at login
2 = disabled for the next boot only, no warning
For this to work, you have to have a separate system running Windbg and
physically connected via a COM port to the target system that will have
WFP disabled. The other alternative is to boot in safe mode. Then you
aren’t required to have a debugger system connected.
I’ve used this successfully on Win2K to do the same thing. (I’ve always
used a debugger system. I haven’t tried the safe boot method.)

Thanks Jerry it worked. I tried to change the ‘SFCDisable’ entry before but
it did not work as I was not running in safe mode. What I did to make it
work is as follows:
