Review the syntax, members, and examples of the UWF_Volume.Unprotect WMI method for Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).

This method disables UWF protection of the volume after the next system restart.

Syntax

UInt32 Unprotect();

Parameters

None.

Return Value

Returns an HRESULT that indicates WMI status or a WMI error.

Remarks

Unprotecting the volume does not remove the UWF_Volume entry or any configuration settings from the UWF configuration registry. This means that you can unprotect a volume, and then protect it again later, keeping any file exclusions or volume configurations that you have defined.
