I see this method must work, so why not for me? I tried renaming the file sfcfiles.dll to sfcfilesold.dll but XP never warned me that I'm being "very, very BAD". It appeared to work, but the folders would still not let me delete them.. I looked back in C:\Windows\System32 and XP had created a new sfcfiles.dll! Is there something I can do to stop it from creating a new file each time I rename it?? Thanks!
