replacing dll

Hello,

I am having trouble replacing wininet.dll. After I
replace the file it is automatically overwritten in a
second or two, is there a way to stop this or replace the
imbedded file?

thank you for your assistance!

Which Tablet PC are you running, and why are you trying to replace a system
file?

That file is a required system file in Windows XP, and you're not going to
be able to "replace" it. I'd look to Linux support.

I have replaced it on 437 XP pro desktops and they work
just fine but with the tablet it keeps overwritting the
file.

Don't know what to tell you, except what I've already posted, Dave. If
you've already performed the replacement on other systems, then you probably
should follow whatever you did on them. Windows XP is XP, whether on a
Tablet PC or a desktop.

Windows XP may always be Windows XP but I have run into some ComPaq
desktops that had extra software installed on them to prevent the user
from removing some of the extra programs that Compaq had installed. That
software was running off of a separate non-DOS partition so it didn't
show up as a drive letter. I had to go in and use Partition Magic to hide
the partition, then boot to DOS and edit out several lines in both
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS, then delete the executable that was being
called, then boot to Windows, go into the registry, and remove several
other entries. All this just to keep the darn machine from reinstalling
crap like AOL every time it rebooted.

Anyone who assumes that name brand PC's have a clean, unmodified install
of Windows is asking for trouble. If one model of PC is behaving
differently than a whole bunch of other models then it is time to start
looking for what tricks the manfacturer may have played to get the OS to
behave the way THEY wanted.

I believe this is why regular Windows install disks are unavailable for
Tablet PC's. I believe the manufacturers had to make major modifications
to the OS itself to get each individual model to work. In a way they are
reverting back to the DOS 2.0 mode of thinking.

System file protection can probably be disabled by group policies but it's a
BAD idea to replace this system file. What are you gonna do when a
vulnerability is discovered and that file gets patched?
