File Based Write Filter Management Tool for Windows Thin PC

• This out–of-band feature provides an application to monitor and configure the “File Based Write Filter (FBWF)”. By default the application will start on system start and will register a notification area icon. The settings, however, allow suppressing the automatic starting. The tool can be started with a command line parameter to open either the overview dialog or (for users with administrative privileges) the configuration dialog. If the tool is started with a command line parameter, the tool will exit as soon as the respective dialog is closed.
  
  If the tool has registered a tray icon, hovering over the icon will show a tooltip containing the protected volumes. If a command is pending for a volume, it will be shown as well. Left-clicking on the icon or selecting “Status…” from its context menu opens the overview dialog with more detailed information about the file based write filter configuration. Users with administrative privileges or credentials can open the configuration dialog by selecting “Configure…” from the icons context menu.
  
  The File Based Write Filter Management Tool has a dependency on the File Based Write Filter Provider. There is an update to the originally shipped Provider that must be installed.
  
  Specifically, the File Based Write Filter Management Tool has a dependency on version 6.1.7601.21769 or greater of the File Based Write Filter Provider. Version 6.1.7601.21769 of the File Based Write Filter Provider is available from the download center via KB2570814.
