COMMITTING TO THE ENHANCEDWRITE FILTER

Committing to the EWF

The EWF (Enhanced Write Filter) is a write protect on

the C:\ drive of Samsung display computers.

This protects against unauthorized changes and

malicious software by maintaining a safe set of

software and settings that are restored at each boot.

Any changes not saved to the EWF will be lost on

reboot.

Any changes or new software installed must be added,

or committed, to the EWF.

Samsung has provided an icon on the desktop, the

EWF Manager, to perform this task.

Double click on the icon to run the EWF Managerapplication.
