What does typing this into the console do?
ren update.sys update.sp2

and How can i change it back?

Hi

That command renames update.sys to update.sp2. If you want to reverse the
command type:

ren update.sp2 update.sys

If you do, you won't be able to finish the directions in the article.

Thanks I didn't know that

I decided to uninstall SP2 by going into safe mode and
uninstalling SP2 under the control panel -> add/remove
programs.
Everything seems ok now but i did type "ren update.sys
update.sp2" as the article suggested but do i have to
change anything back now? thanks

Hi

If you have uninstalled SP2, I doubt that the article will apply now. If
however you do get any error messages relating to that file, then you can
try renaming it back to the original.
