SFCDllCacheDir

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Windows File Protection

Description

Specifies an alternate location for the Windows File Protection cache.

This entry stores the setting of the Cache file path text box in the Specify Windows File Protection cache location Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry when you enable the Specify Windows File Protection cache location policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system uses the default value.

Change method

To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Specify Windows File Protection cache location policy (Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Windows File Protection).

Note

This entry takes precedence over a user setting. While the Specify Windows File Protection cache location policy is enabled (and this entry appears in the registry), the system ignores the value of SFCDllCacheDir in the Winlogon subkey.

Tip

For detailed information about particular Group Policy settings, see the Group Policy Reference (Gp.chm) on the Windows 2000 Resource Kit companion CD.

For general information about Group Policy, see Group Policy in Windows 2000 Help.

To see a table associating policies with their corresponding registry entries, see the Group Policy Reference Table.

Caution

Do not put the cache on a network shared directory.
