One of Microsoft’s latest efforts to help promote system stability is Windows File Protection (WFP), as debuted in Windows 2000 & now featured in Windows XP.

This guide will take you through basic operation of WFP, how to use & configure it for your system. WFP designates certain files as important system files, initially those which are installed during the initial installation of the system, i.e. all dll, exe, fon, ocx, sys & tff on the Windows 2000/XP CD & creates a backup of them in a dllcache folder. After using your system for a while you’ll likely also discover many other file types being protected in this way, e.g. ax, cpl, cpx, dll, exe, fon, inf, ocx, rsp, sys, tff & tlb files. By default these are cached into the %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\dllcache folder, where they will reside until WFP needs to restore a file with that copy. WFP works by detecting the replacement/overwriting of these system files. For the less experienced user, the same reasoning as above can be applied.
