Removing unwanted software

Several folders within Program Files (such as the Xerox one, and I guess movie maker's) are OS locked. They're protected by WFP and will be recreated if deleted (which is only possible under a safe mode command prompt login).
O.K. So I have to figure out not where WFP is configured. Yeah, I know I said DOS mode, but I meant safe mode command prompt. The xerox one I hadn't noticed yet... one more clue to look for.
The WFP isn't my enemy, just the unasked for, unnecessary OS additions its protecting with no user option. I guess it's microscrap's way of feeding a little video eye candy to the masses, then a little mpegijuana, pretty soon we're hooked to an MSN mainline, with a hunnert-dollar-a-day DoodlyToob habit. ;)
J. M. Pescado:
I think there's a registry thing somewhere to disable WFP. WFP is bad. Because dammit, I *LIKE* deleting and overwriting system files arbitrarily.
jrd:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Windows File Protection
Create a DWORD named SFCDisable and set its value to 2 (0=on, 1=off and prompt to re-enable).
This will only work if you have a kernel debugger. Should you lack one, get the Debugging tools or a simple fault logger like IIXII's inspectr.exe (which I use).
