| Using Process Explorer form sysinternals, I see a bunch of
| directories for things that shouldn't exist on my XP in use.
| For instance:
|
| program files/msn gaming zone
| program files/frontpage
| windows/xerox
| and a bunch more.
|
| So, since these dirs were in use when trying to delete them,
| and most were empty, I found winlogon.exe was using them
| and closed the handles and renamed the dirs out of the way.
| On the next boot, XP (winlogon perhaps did this?)
| recreated all the dirs and winlogon has them open (and
| empty as most were to begin with). My renamed ones still sit
| there too.
|
| I searched the registry, and they weren't listed as or in keys,
| so they must be hard coded, right? Why does it spend time
| openning these (or creating them) when I have nothing from
| Xerox, don't use anything MSN, and never had
| Frontpage??
|
| There are others too. Any idea why and how to change this
| behavior?? Thanks.
See the following Microsoft Knowledge Base Article:
KB281449 - Error Message Occurs When You Attempt to
Delete Folders
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?Product=winxp&scid=kb;en-us;281449
Although Windows XP is not listed in the "applies to:" section
I am certain that the KB article actually does apply to WinXP.
As KB281449 states: "Windows File Protection (WFP) handles
the folders [ %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft FrontPage, etc.]
under the Winlogon process", so...
For an unofficial list of the files and folders protected by
WFP click the link in the following Google Groups archived
newsgroup post. BTW, since the link is to a text file it is safe.

List of files inside of sfcfiles.dll on Windows XP Pro.

Hope this is helpful to someone. It's just a simple text file
listing all the files contained inside of sfcfiles.dll. <SNIP>
