'''Windows File Protection''' ('''WFP'''), a sub-system included in [[Microsoft Windows]] [[operating system]]s of the [[Windows 2000]] and [[Windows XP]] era, aims to prevent programs from replacing critical Windows [[system file]]s. Protecting core system files mitigates problems such as [[DLL hell]] with programs and the operating system. Windows 2000, [[Windows XP]] and [[Windows Server 2003]] include WFP under the name of ''Windows File Protection''; [[Windows Me]] includes it as '''System File Protection''' ('''SFP''').
