How to copy back shell32.dll?

[vql]

I copy orginal shell32.dll and modify it by Reshack (change Icons). But I can't copy overwrite modified shell32.dll to System32 because orginal shell32.dll is used by Windows processes. I want Windows using shell32.dll I modified.

How to make this?

1. rename shell32.dll to shell32.old in %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\dllcache

2. rename shell32.dll to shell32.old in %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\

3. Copy your modified shell32.dll to %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\

This should work.

Here's a batch file that can do the same (won't back files up though):

@echo off
copy /y %1 %systemroot%\system32
copy /y %1 %systemroot%\system32\dllcache
