killswitch Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi, I've written a batch which replaces cca. 80 system files (installs shellpack, more precisely), but even if SFC is off, these files wont't overwrite (e.g. explorer.exe, cause its obviously in use). If I want to overwrite all of these files, will adding an item (which will run that batch) into RunOnce key in registry solve my problem?Any other suggestions will be appreciated....and sorry for my poor english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killswitch Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) I'll answer to myself - no. Some files were replaced, but most of them remains the same.. Is there any method how to overwrite system files? I know there is, e.g. Vista Inspirat 2 BricoPack is replacing them...

jaclaz Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 NO, you cannot replace files WHILE they are in use, bit you can "schedule" the replacement at next boot.There are several utilities/tools to do so, some examples:Manually:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181345/en-usUtilities:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/228930/en-ushttp://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/http://www.thescarms.com/VBasic/FilesInUse.aspxhttp://www.snapfiles.com/get/moveonboot.htmlhttp://www.snapfiles.com/get/copylock.htmlhttp://noeld.com/programs.asp?cat=mischttp://www.docsdownloads.com/Tier1/dr-delete.htmhttp://comandiux.scot.sk/http://comandiux.scot.sk/parameters.htmjaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
