re: Deleting Ghost/Empty Directories (a solution) Saturday, September 7, 2002 at 9:42 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by shannon (1 messages posted) its pretty simple really, you just have to boot up in safe mode (hit F8 at the prompt when the computer starts up). you cant copy over the old sfc_os.dll, but you can move the one in the \system32\ dir to a temp/backup dir, then move the one you edited, after ren it to sfc_os.dll, into the system32 dir. then reboot, and then do the regedit and reboot again and you should be ready to go. its a nice little fix really. thanks all you contributors, its worked out fine..
