For additional information, please see the "HP Compaq Thin Client Imaging Tool" white paper located at: http://h200006.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/UCR/SupportManual/TPM_339082003_rev4_us/TPM_339082-003_rev4_us.pdf If you are logged-on as Administrator, you can change the status of EWF by rightclicking on the icon and selecting the desired EWF state. IMPORTANT: Since EWF Manager console utility (ewfmgr.exe) and the EWF status service execute separate code, any status changes by ewfmgr.exe will not be automatically reflected by the EWF status icon. To refresh the status icon after modifying EWF through ewfmgr.exe, you must right-click on the icon (you can then click anywhere on the screen to close the context menu). However, any operations made through the EWF status icon menu will be visible through the EWF Manager console application. Status and changes to the Enhanced Write Filter will be synchronized between the EWF status icon and the EWF Manager Control Panel applet. 3
