Alright we have an application in house that needs a certain RSH.exe
file. Now when we use to build computers on Service Pack 3 we would
replace the 14 Kb RSH.exe file with the one needed in both the
dllcahce folder and system32 folder. Now we are using service pack 4
and whenever I try to replace that file with the one needed the stupid
thing reverts back right in front of my eyes! I am logged in as
administrator with full rights obviously - the only thing different in
my builds is the addition of service pack 4 - does anybody have any
idea what I can do to get aound this or why it does this now? Help -
I'm going insane...Thanks in advance.

This is Windows File Protection doing its job. What you need to do to
replace a protected file is boot into safe mode and replace it. Windows
File Protection is not active in safe mode. Also put a copy of the file
in the dllcache directory.

Hi

If the file exists in the folder %windir%\servicepackfiles\i386, he might need
to overwrite that one as well.
