System File Protection, or its new name Windows File Protection
(WFP), is different to System Restore.
Only XP has System Restore.
XP, ME, and Win2000 have Windows File Protection in somewhat
different flavours.
The GDB extention problem only applies to XP, given that it is a
System Restore issue. (Sorry about dragging Win2000 into this -- got
confused myself).
Windows File Protection is documented here:
http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/driver/sfp/wfp.asp
The solutions we are discussing involve:
1) getting around the WFP on FILELIST.XML
2) modifying FILELIST.XML, the file that dictates which files are
monitored for system restore
Please state explicitly that your solution survived a reboot. I
suspect yours didn't, Philippe??
