I need to replace the explorer.exe
in the C:\Windows
directory.
I have tried to do this, through both the GUI and command prompt (ran as administrator), but I get an access denied
error. It seems that being an administrator on your machine is not the highest permission level after all, and only Trusted Installer
can modify the file.
Is there a way to replace explorer.exe
that works?
(I was about to boot into safe mode and try that, but I wanted to get some feedback before I do anything in-depth.)
Explorer.exe
to replace it. You cannot delete any running program.
