[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1062985, member: 32260"] There is no WHH folder on the Desktop (and never been). The posts made by NormanF in this thread and on Wilders Security thread are incorrect. The "icon" on the Desktop is a shortcut. If you click on it then the real folder "C:\ProgramData\WindowsHybridHardening_Tools" is opened in Explorer. If you remove the "icon", only the shortcut will be deleted, and not the real folder in %ProgramData%. I am not sure why you would want to keep the WHH Light executable on the Desktop instead of a shortcut. Anyway, If you drag the WHH application from the default folder to the desktop, then the file will be [B][COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)]moved[/COLOR][/B] from the WHH folder to the Desktop, and [B][COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)]allowed[/COLOR][/B] by WDAC. But, do not [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]copy[/COLOR][/B] the file. Microsoft made ISG in a way that the [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]copy does not inherit the positive reputation[/COLOR][/B] (only moving the file does). [/QUOTE]
