The Crazy One

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I'm using Windows 2000 SP2 and I want to replace a dll in the system32 folder. However you can't seem to touch anything in there, even with administrator access. For example, if I try to delete something (backing it up first obviously) it will appear to have been deleted, but then if you refresh Windows Explorer it comes back. Does anyone know how to get around this?

Modifying files in the system32 folder

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
