Okay, I've searched and I have found ways to disable this. However, this isn't something I want to remove, but its annoying since everytime I install a new driver or device, it pops up. My install cd is pretty basic, I added in SP2 and a mess of hotfixes and patches, the post SP2 ones included in the thread here. Is adding in all these hotfixes causing the WFP to pop up all the time?
Thanks
Full Version: windows file protection
hi frozndevl! Windows is built that way ... as per MS 
... to add, deleting .cat files is likewise doable via nLite ...

WFP uses the file signatures and catalog files that are generated by code signing to verify if protected system files are the correct Microsoft versions.
... you said you have already figured a way to do so but just in case yuo have not come accross this yet (this uses modified files), allow me to quote Fred Vorck: QUOTE (fdv @ Apr 11 2006, 08:09 AM) 
On a different subject... SFCFILES.DLL by the way works on ALL versions of Windows, just to clear that up. SFC.DLL and SFC_OS.DLL are different matters entirely. You can use SFCFILES.DLL and no other modified binaries and SFC will be disabled. To recap, for the confused 
To shut Windows File Protection off:
Use a modified SFC.DLL in Windows 2000
Use a modified SFC_OS.DLL in Windows XP and Windows 2003
No need for a modified SFCFILES.DLL
To disable Windows File Protection causing it to check an empty list:
Use a modified SFCFILES.DLL in ANY version of Windows
No need for a modified SFC*.DLL
For complete overkill, so that Windows File Protection is shut off AND has an empty list which it doesn't even check:
Use a modified SFC.DLL in Windows 2000
Use a modified SFC_OS.DLL in Windows XP and Windows 2003
AND Use a modified SFCFILES.DLL in ANY version of Windows

So is there any way to slipstream anything without the Windows File Protection coming up every time I install a driver? Without disabling the feature.
using nLite makes those screens disappear ... set SFC to disabled (it is enabled by default) ... you may delete .CAT files too
using HFSLIP (with the mentioned modified files) is another great way of doing it ...

hello
Yes, disable it in nlite, and after install, and if you got your desktop up already, you can turn it back on. i use the app here

to turn it back on and off when needed.
good luck

Just one note: if you do this disable-enable thing don't post about SFC popups later on because nLite doesn't filter out the protection when the SFC is disabled.
And for those who get the popups anyway I hear ya.
