How do you update WFP when you manually replace a .DLL or .EXE in the Windows directory? Say you have a program that needs a specific .DLL that alreay exists in your Windows directory. You replace it and everything works fine for a few minutes and then the system replaces the .DLL file. Then the software no longer works because WPF puts the old one back. How do you tell WFP you want to keep this new .DLL? Replies to aaronhill@netscape.net - Thanks

Go into group policy for your local machine and turn off Windows File Protection. If I recall correctly it is off by default, so you must have turned it on. I believe there is also setting in the local machine group policy that you can tell WFP when to run (at Boot, Run once, etc.).
