How do I replace a currently in use file under Win2K?

[Tseng]

There is a file I'd like to replace, but it is used by system. Under Win9x, I can boot into DOS and replace the file manually. Under Win2K, the file system is NTFS, the method mentioned is useless. Is there other way I can do this?
TIA

Try moving the locked file to another directory (at the cmd prompt type: move <filenaam> <dir> ) and then copying the new file. After a reboot you can delete the old file.
