Registry settings for Windows File Protection

When Windows starts up, the Windows File Protection service synchronizes (copies) the WFP settings from the following registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Windows File Protection
to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Therefore, if any of the following values are present in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Windows File Protection
key, they will take precedence over the same values under the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
key.

By default, only users with Administrator or System rights can modify these settings.

Registry Values

SFCDisable (REG_DWORD)

0 = enabled (default)
1 = disabled, prompt at boot to re-enable
2 = disabled at next boot only, no prompt to re-enable
4 = enabled, with popups disabled

NOTE: For options 1 and 2: Both of these options require a kernel debugger to be hooked up for those options to become useable. If a kernel debugger is not hooked up, Windows File Protection is not disabled.

SFCScan (REG_DWORD)

0 = do not scan protected files at boot (default)
1 = scan protected files at every boot
2 = scan protected files once

SFCQuota (REG_DWORD)

n = size (in megabytes) of dllcache quota (default is 0xffffffff or approximately 300 MB)
FFFFFFFF = cache all protected system files on the local hard disk

SFCDllCacheDir (REG_EXPAND_SZ)

Path = local or network location of dllcache folder (default is %SystemRoot%\System32)

NOTE: Network shares for the dllcache directory are no longer supported.

SFCShowProgress (REG_DWORD)

0 = System File Checker progress meter is not displayed (default)
1 = System File Checker progress meter is displayed

NOTE: The Windows 2000 source files location information is stored in the following registry location and can be modified to point to the drive letter of a volume that has an I386 flat folder of the installation files or change the SourcePath value in the registry to point to a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path instead of a mapped network drive.

The SourcePath value is located in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
Example:

If the I386 directory is at C:\I386, the SourcePath value would be C:\.

If the I386 directory is at \\Servera\w2kflat\I386, the SourcePath value would be \\Servera\W2KFlat.

After you restart the computer, WFP and SFC /SCANNOW uses the new source path instead of prompting for the Windows 2000 installation CD-ROM.

Next Android OS After Jelly Bean



Google has released its latest Android OS Jelly Bean on June 16 in this year. Now everyone is looking for the next Android OS after Jelly Bean, now the question is "Whats the code name(Nick name) for next Android Operating System"?

Since naming convention follows an alphabetical order, everyone knows the name will start with 'k'. Besides the the name convention, In the Android history all the updates comes with a dessert related tittle, it follows the updates from Cup Cake 1.5 to current Jelly Bean 4.1. So what will they name for it??

The running guess is that the next android OS will be Key Lime Pie(KLP) after Jelly Bean , another dessert item. Have you heard of Key Lime Pie before? Actually I haven't heard of, but I likes the name. Well, it would be the first pie joining in the Android history. You can keep guessing some other desserts start with 'K' and let us know it by comments.

Then what will be the features of Key Lime Pie? Will it be a major update to 5.0 or a minor update from Jelly Bean? What is the release date for Key Lime Pie? Google has announced nothing officially  about their next OS release. No detail yet on the release date and version. Although, the next update assumed to be released in late next year(2013) with strong features .

If you know something more about the next Android OS release and features share your opinion with us in the comments below.

Microsoft Office Coming On Android And IOS



Microsoft Office On Android And IOS
Microsoft Office for iPad images leaked few months ago suggesting that Microsoft Office for iPad could launch soon. The Daily published this information at that time, but Microsoft denied the report but The Daily stood by the report.

Now BGR is reporting that Microsoft is working on both Android and iOS versions of the Office suite. According to BGR Microsoft Office for Android and iOS might launch by November. Office suite hugely popular on the desktops is almost absent on the tablets and smartphones. Apple dominates the tablet market with iPad and it is natural to think that Microsoft doesn’t want to miss this opportunity to put Office on iOS devices. Office has been a cash cow for Microsoft. 



BGR’s source has reportedly seen the iOS version of the Office suite and is identical to the leaked image we have seen before. The loading screen in the app clearly said “Office for iOS” instead of Office for iPad, that means Office for iPhone and iPod devices will also be available along with Office for iPad.

Microsoft might think to promote its Office suite on Windows 8 tablets and Windowsphone devices, but Windows 8 tablets are not yet in the market and Windows phone is not a success so far compared to Android and iOS. Android and iOS rule the smartphone and tablet market, so it makes perfect sense that Microsoft might want to release Office for both these platforms.

If at all released Microsoft Office for Android and iOS would be welcome, and coupled with SkyDrive you could access and edit office files on your smartphone and desktop PC and keep them in sync.
