2 HP Write Filters The File-Based Write Filter (FBWF) and the Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) provide two distinct ways to provide a secure environment for your computer by protecting it from unauthorized writes to storage and file systems. FBWF operates at the file level, and EWF operates at the sector level. Only one write filter can be selected and active at one time. File-Based Write Filter The File-Based Write Filter (FBWF) provides a secure environment for your computer by protecting it from undesired read and write access to write-sensitive or read-only storage. FBWF has only two states, enabled or disabled. When FBWF is disabled, all previous changes are lost. Using the File-Based Write Filter command line utility Windows® Embedded includes the FBWF command line utility. This utility enables you to issue a set of commands to the FBWF driver, report the status of each protected overlay, and report the format of the overall FBWF configurations.
