NX (no execute) in Windows realised in Data Execution Prevention (DEP)
technology.
On 64-bit processes, DEP is enabled by default and cannot be disabled. For

with SP2, Windows Vista, and later versions of Windows.
To enable NX on 32-bit Windows edit 'c:\boot.ini', add option
'/noexecute=...' (alwayson/optout/optin/alwaysoff)::
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="MS Windows XP Prof" /fastdetect /noexecute=alwayson
To see current DEP status run::
cmd> wmic OS Get DataExecutionPrevention_Available
cmd> wmic OS Get DataExecutionPrevention_SupportPolicy
cmd> wmic OS Get DataExecutionPrevention_Drivers
