Overwrite a file in Vista
-
OK, I am stumped.. I am getting message on one machine that iexplore.exe is trowing an error and has to be shut down. I get this just trying to load a blank page even. I want to put iexplore.exe back from another Vista system but I CANNOT overwrite the darn file! Any ideas? It says I need permissions to do that, but I don't seem to have those permissions or have any way to ask for them. I start up a copy of explorer using the Run As Administrator option but that doe snot help. UGH!

Windows File Protection is changed in Windows Vista, becoming Windows Resource Protection. Protected files are protected by an ACL which only allows the TrustedInstaller service to overwrite them. It's most likely that you have an incompatible browser helper object. Go into Control Panel, Internet Options, Programs tab and click Manage Add-Ons. Disable anything you find in the Browser Extension and Browser Helper Object category. If that fixes it, turn them back on one by one until you find the culprit. Typically it's Sun Java that crashes it for me. You should be regularly updating this anyway as it's a security bugfest.

DoEvents: Generating unexpected recursion since 1991If you right click on file and propprties, and go to securty option. And if you search there, you could take ovnership of that file. first tip: Check file by content. Use Total commander or other programs that support comparing files, if it is same don't bother overwriting it Second tip: File protected by ACL is hard to change. Viruses doesn't have direct accsess.
