Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Re: explorer.exe WOW! Hadn't seen that one. Had to save a copy out of intellectual fascination. Of course, my heirs have been instructed to degauss all of my computer equipment and recycle it when I'm dead (except what I may take to the pyre with me.) Fortunately, brother owns an aircraft shop and he has a degausser that they use to magnetically wipe entire airplanes(!) He only just mentioned that to me, but I get to check it out in a week or two when I go down to replace a workstation. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User http://grystmill.com "David H.

Guest Bill in Co. Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Re: explorer.exe I don't know enough to tell you when or whether it does this. I believe XP keeps updated backups in the \dllcache subdirectory, and also that XP is a bit restrictive on allowing access to the DLLs for being updated. The one thing I *do* know it that I can't get a decent LOG file out of it for what it updates (if for example, you run "sfc /scannow"). The Event Viewer is near useless for this, unlike in Win98SE, where you can actually get a real LOG file, showing exactly what was replaced. And even a prompt, to allow it to be updated - or not.
