There is no UI, just some registry settings:

You can also use sfc.exe from the command line. Also look at

RE: [ntdev] C or C++ ?OSR provides a utility to stop WFP in limited situations. The undocumented value works under W2K, but I hear that is has been disabled in XP. You must have Winbag running to keep WFP inhibited normally.

Since everyone seems to be piping in on using C++ in drivers, I thought I would say that I see a good use for it if you know what you are doing. If you don’t know how to do it the hard way in straight C and using the DDK, then you will never be good enough to use C++ correctly. Having DriverWorks to provide classes to access the registry and doing debug displays is very useful to me. I can and have done it with C, but I still like DriverWorks. Of course, if I didn’t know how to do it, I couldn’t fix the bugs in Numega’s code.
