Do you mean disable user/group permissions on file/directories or assign files from one user to another? If the former, no. If the later, right click and adjust the permissions.

If the system is none boot able it would be best to bypass Windows all together and use something like Knoppix or any other distro which has "NTFS-3G" built in (which allows high speed read/write to NTFS drivers) as this will bypass the whole bloody security system.

If this is not what you are looking for I apologise for bumping your thread.

no not quite what i ment. basicaly WFP is a service* that runs on windows and if you modify a system file it replaces the file back to its old system state therefore you can't modify the file.

I think i've managed it now by running WFPAdmin in safemode and seems to have worked


Thats anyway

The only thing I would have suggested is the SFCDisable registry entry, but from the tone of your first post I'm guessing you've tried that. To be honest, I've only tried it once before (using 2000 Server) and I can't even remember whether it worked. So, no help at all really.
