some modern UEFI/CSM leaves CR0.WP set at boot (Developers)

Curious as to why you put a redundant ".286" at the beginning and then almost immediately change it to ".386p" (which admittedly is necessary).

Why .EXE instead of .COM?

Why "mov ah,4Ch int 21h" when (IIRC) MASM v5 supports ".exit"?

Wouldn't "ResetWP.exe" be more descriptive?

(Sorry for the nitpicking.)
