On newer Windows versions you cannot replace files that are part of the operating system because of Microsoft's System File protection. This is by design. Install a Windows Service Pack to update these files.

Well, if you map you own C$ as network drive you can change files "locked" by the OS. Works fine for me on NT and XP.

jfa, needless to say this is just a hack, and hence not a recommended thing to do. DLL's come in sets, and replacing one without the others is never a good idea. Protecting against this is what windows file protection is all about.
