We're trying to use an old version of telnet on our XP
workstations due to a legacy app. Whenever we try to
delete the current telnet.exe the file automatically re-
creates its self. Why is this doing this? and How can I
stop it.

Thanks,
Rob
 
WFP - Windows File Protection - why not just put the old "telnet.exe" in its
own folder, and create a shortcut to the the .exe and have the shortcut
start in that directory - or put the folder in the PATH variable, before the
%WINDOWS ROOT% and %WINDOWS ROOT%/SYSTEM32, so when run from the command
line it finds the old version first.
 
or just place the old telnet in the system32 folder under a different name ?
rename the old telnet.exe to eg. tn.exe and put it in the system32 folder
afterward you can execute it by just typing tn instead of telnet
