This document provides guidance for configuring DEP on Windows XP SP2.

Note: Hardware-enabled DEP is enabled by default on computers with DEP 
compatible processors that run Microsoft Windows XP 64-Bit Edition. 
64-bit applications will not run from "non-executable" areas of memory. 
Hardware-enabled DEP cannot be disabled.

Software-enabled DEP on Windows XP SP2 and 32-bit applications running 
on any processors can be configured to use "executable" or "non-executable" 
areas of memory.
