I wanna change a file name(.dll) in system32. But it doesn't work
'cause I have no authority nevertheless administrator account. In
vista, it's so hard to program somethings OTL...

Are there some methods that change a file name? or change the
information bound the file(dll) in the registry editor?

Dear Hjkim,
First, I would like you to make sure that this file is not a critical file
before renaming or deleting it.
Second, there is a microsoft utility (previously Sysinternals) called
"MoveFile" and here's the link for it
http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/PendMoves.zip
And to use it in renaming the file, the syntax is [movefile
"C:\Windows\System32\FileName.dll" "C:\Windows\System32\FileName.old"]
without the Brackets.
This will pend the file for renaming the next time you restart the computer,
so after typing the command like that, just restart the computer.

Best regards
