"Update Totally Avoided?"
Since 2004 and now 2006. No update for XP Pro SP1?

"Thanks, but..."
That this utility edits the registry keys is very clearly explained in the "Description" -- So, finding that it edits these keys shouldn't be a big surprise.

In terms of calling random ordinals in random DLLs: We are aware of several ways to manipulate SFP under Windows. None of these are either documented or supported. To be perfectly honest, we don't think that creating a utility that generically allows people to disable SFP (even if it's "just for aminute) is in the best interests of the user community at large. That's why we haven't done it.

Thanks for sharing, though...

"Does not do what you would think"
This really ought to be called the SFC Control. It is a GUI for editing the registry keys which manage the behavior of System File Checker at next boot. It will not disable System File Protection (SFP) except possibly in Windows 2000 pre-SP2 when a simple registry hack (the SFCDisable key) would actually turn off SFP.

OSR guys, if you want to re-write this tool, there is a way to control/disable SFP dynamically from inside Windows. You just need to call export ordinal 5 (an undocumented API) in sfc_os.dll (sfc.dll in Windows 2000) and supply the filename of the file you want to disable SFP for. SFP is disabled for a period of one minute on that file.
