I downloaded inuse.exe for Win2k. The first attempt didn't work, because
the windows filesystem protection was ON. After turning it off in the
registry (SFCCache = 0xffff..), I could run inuse.exe. It reports that
the DLL will be replaced on the next reboot. However, when I reboot, the
filesystem has the same old DLL.

What am I doing wrong ?
