Start | Run | Open Command Line:

wtflush.exe with no arguments - Brings up the Write Filter Control dialog box 
(Figure 12). This dialog box also may be accessed through the Start | Programs 
menu or via the Administrative Tools selection in the Control Panel. See the 
following description of the dialog box.

wtflush.exe \f - Flushes the cache and disables the write filter until the next boot. 
The write filter status icon is red.

wtflush.exe \d - Flushes the cache and disables the write filter; the write filter stays 
disabled after the boot and must be enabled manually either through the dialog box 
or through the command line. The write filter status icon stays red while disabled. 

wtflush.exe \e - Write filter enabled after the next boot. After enabling the write filter 
you must reboot. You do not need to flush the cache first since the write filter is 
currently disabled. The write filter status icon is green when the write filter is 
enabled.

Flush and disable (\f and \d arguments) open and automatically close a DOS 
command window during the process. However, the flush could take up to 
several minutes to complete after the window closes. Because the DOS 
window does not stay open long enough to view the results, you should open 
the Write Filter Control dialog box to determine if flushing has completed.

The write filter status icon on the task bar system tray turns red immediately 
when the cache flush operation is started, although the flush action may take 
up to several minutes to complete.

Do not attempt to flush the cache while the cache is currently being flushed.

If you open a MS-DOS Prompt window (by entering command in the Run dialog), 
append “.exe” to the wtflush command: wtflush.exe, wtflush.exe \f, wtflush.exe \d, and 
wtflush.exe \e.

The Write Filter Control dialog box is shown in Figure 12. It can be opened either 
through the command line (wtflush) or via the Administrative Tools selection in the 
Control Panel. The controls in this dialog box function as follows:
• The Write Filter Enable/Disable check boxes are disabled until the Display Write 

Filter Partition Information button is clicked.

• Click on the Display Write Filter Partition Information button to enable the 

WriteFilter Enable/Disable check boxes.

• Select the Disable WriteFilter check box to flush the cache and disable the write filter 

(the WFilterPartition1 key value is set to 0). The write filter status icon in the desktop 
system tray turns red. The write filter stays disabled after boot. To re-enable the write 
filter, select the Enable WriteFilter check box and reboot.
