WriteThroughFilesAndFolders (Standard 8 Module Reference)

7/8/2014

Review the applicable Feature modules and any examples for the WriteThroughFilesAndFolders setting in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).

This setting contains list of the files or directories to which the File-Based Write Filter (FBWF) enables write access on the underlying volume. These files and directories are considered write-through, meaning that no filtering or caching takes place.

When you add write-through files or folders in Image Configuration Editor (ICE), a new line must separate each item in the list. When you add write-through files or folders by directly editing the XML in a configuration file, you must separate each file or folder by using a space. Do not include the drive letter or environment variables.
