New Features Are Now Available for Standard 2009

*Updated 6/9/10* Refreshed bits have been made available on the OEM sites (ECE and MOO), as incorrect bits were included in the original release.

Two new features for Windows Embedded Standard 2009 are now available on the ECE site, Enhanced Write Filter Management Tool and File Based Write Filter Management Tool.

These out-of-band features provides an application to monitor and configure the "Enhanced Write Filter (EWF)" or “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.

The new features are rolled into the Window Embedded Standard 2009 May 2011 Feature Update. These can be imported into the product database.

The Management Tools have a dependency on the Write Filter Providers, which shipped in the February 2011 Feature Update.
