DEP on XP

I am trying to remember if I was dreaming or googling
when I saw a registry key that turned off XP SP2 DEP
(software) protection.

I think that the key was something like

HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\LSA

the value was MemoryProtection   reg_sz  Off

I tried running regmon while checking the DEP off
button and could not find a key that resembled this.

Maybe I saw this in my google dreams?  I just did my
10th google for it and found nothing !!

I am writing a variant on hooking a thread and want to
confirm that I need\or do not need DEP off for this to
work.  I can manipulate this value quicker with a reg
bat file than a GUI tool.

thanks for any help
