Hello,
I have coded a small utility to simplify the handling of EWF and HORM features and I would like to share it.
This utility, EWF&HORMmanager, (written with AutoIt v3,
http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/) can be used to enable/disable EWF and HORM (on the system disk only): it's a GUI for the "ewfmgr" command line program. Moreover it can be used to unmount the disks not EWF-protected and to start the hibernation process.
In order to use EWF&HORMmanager you should have installed properly EWF & HORM tecnologies from XP Embedded Feature Pack 2007.
The included program "hibernate4HORM" is derived from source code published by Microsoft (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa460084.aspx); it's used by EWF&HORMmanager to lock and unmount the EWF-unprotected drives, to hibernate the system and then (at resume time) to unlock the drives.
I know that there is almost another tool doing the same thing, the HORM Manager Lite from Wechsler Consulting, but I found some problems running that tool with XPe FP 2007 and I would like a simpler GUI...
Hope this can be useful to someone...
