stopping system32 file replacement

[Daniel Comp]

I need to have a custom version of riched32.dll to remain
in the system32 folder. Each time I place the custom file
over the original, the system replaces it again (as
designed). Windows 2000 allowed replacement following a
response to a message asking if this is what I wanted to
do. XP doesn't ask it simply replaces the file with the
original.

Is there a way to stop this, allowing the riched32.dll I
need to use to remain in place?

I appreciate your help.

Is multiposting necessary?

It often helps to ask several people for directions as
some people are lost and don't know it.

I found that neither of the answers provided a fix as
neither worked. So here I am again.
