Easy Minlogon without disabling WFP

Minlogon without disabling WFP:

Download this minlogon.cab file from here.
You must have WinRAR or WinZip or similar extraction tool installed.
Right-click the minlogon.cab file and choose "Extract to minlogon/"
The minlogon.exe file is in the minlogon folder that appears.

Restart and repeatedly press F8 when booting to enter Safe Mode
In C:\WINDOWS\system32 rename winlogon.exe to winlogon.exe.bak
Copy the minlogon.exe into system32 folder and rename to winlogon.exe
Make a new text document and copy the following into it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"Config"=dword:00000017

Save it as minlogon.reg to the desktop or another convenient directory (folder)

Double-click minlogon.reg to create the new dword called Config with value 00000017 which allows minlogon to work.
Restart and you have implemented minlogon.


I've used this successfully with XP SP2 and SP3. The systems have all the cics optimizations in place before implementing minlogon.
