Aug 18, 2008 Anybody got a simple Tool like 'Windows File Protection Switcher 1.0' from Techconnect Magazine to disable WFP in. Jan 27, 2008 But I wouldn't risk to patch it on a live system. If Windows File Protection cannot automatically find the file in the cached folder, it searches the network path or prompts the user for the Windows installation disc to restore the appropriate version of the file. WFP integrates with the System File Checker (sfc.exe) utility.
Hi fellow cMPers! Have to say this is quite an amazing forum. Been trying to read every post here but taking a very long time. Fascinating though how cPlay has developed and evolved over time, especially the introduction of gapless playback and the teething problems which were sorted along the way.
My name is Mark. I would like to write some software over time which may help others using cMP2. Either utilities or ways of automating set-up. Thinking of using Auto-it for most of it. Why that language you may ask? Well it's free, no restrictions on license, creates stand alone executables (ok if you've stripped every single dll out then I can't guarantee these projects will all work?
After-all, Windows applications are all basically a load of calls to various dll modules). Also Auto-it is powerful enough to manipulate other Windows software (like clicking a button for example).
I am very wary of sound quality issues software could create, so these will mainly be 'sleeping giants' so to speak. Most of the time you probably won't run them, unless you need their function, so it won't get in the way of that sublime cMP2 sound. As an example, Serge (steppe) found a way of stripping out resources from cicsMemoryplayer.exe creating the infamous 1.exe! This had an improved sound and removed the need for winspool.drv module. The unfortunate side-effect is that we lost our options page. Well I've managed to re-create this in an Auto-it gui. This directly writes to the mysterious cicsMemoryPlayer.ini file.
If you want to know the structure of the ini, pretty much worked it out. It is in binary so you can't edit it in a normal text editor. The options can be adjusted outside of cMP (XP mode) too if you wish with this gui program. Still need to finish all this off, but if anyone is interested or wants to know how the ini file works please let me know.

Another thing I intend to do is automate some of the reduction methods (software strip-down) others have come up with. Doing this manually proved horrendous! The pc can do much of this for you with the right script;). Finally was working on a little script to do all the cMP setup. Initially this did mainly registry changes, but I was always left disappointed with the end sonic results. So the new version actually stripped down XP, as if you were clicking all the gui buttons yourself, including the re-boots!
Took about 20 minutes but you could just leave it going. So maybe another project there for the future (still some bugs to iron out there). Anyway, a final taster- and on to the topic of this post at last! Disabling WFP (Windows File Protection) has always been a bit of a pain. I've always thought that a nice little batch (.bat) file would be the best way, if possible? So spent a while trying to research it.
Well hopefully the solution is below! Okay here's what you need to do: 1.
Open up notepad.exe 2. Copy and paste the script below- everything inside (in between) the two -lines (but not the -themselves!) into the notepad window 3. Choose Save-As from the notepad file window. Make sure you change save as type to 'All files' as we need to save this as '.bat' and NOT '.txt' 4.
(Choose a folder you can find again.) Type in the Filename as: Disablewfp.bat and click 'Save' Then you can either double click this file to run it, or preferably run this from a command (cmd) prompt so you can see the visual feed-back. (You can add a 'pause' line to the bottom of the script if you want to use the double-click method though). What this will do is disable WFP permanently after the next reboot. Okay, we've all done this one way or another, but this is an easy way and might help someone new to setting up a cMP machine and configuring it? The script uses two command line programs which are built into XP. Reg.exe and debug.exe. Script should work okay, but I strongly recommend you run this on a clean machine (with nothing to lose!) to test.
If you want to know how it does it, I can explain all (big believer in supplying source code to projects, so others can edit or improve on the work). Just a final note: This is for Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 3 only. It will exit without modifying anything, if run on any other versions. This has not been tested on anything other than Professional, though it should work if sfcos.dll is the same file on those versions- proceed with caution!
If your XP is a different language to English, the checking part of the file (at the start) may need to be edited, as it's looking for English text (like 'Service Pack 2' for example). Please let me know if you find any issues. Hope this is useful for somebody anyway. I apologise if somebody else has already done this in the past, but not got to that part of the forum yet as starting at the beginning working towards the present (and reading only the cPlay forum currently).
All the best, Mark Copy the text below to create the bat file: -@echo off:: Disablewfp.bat written by taste in September 2013.
