Guest DaveFash Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Bought a new laptop that had a disk crash. They replaced the hard-drive and shadow copied info from old to new hard-drive. Unfortunately, the Windows Explorer file was corrupted and the explorer would not startup -- so I copied a new Vista's Windows Explorer from another laptop and planned to copy it over. File write-over denied. So I went to Task Manager, killed the explorer -- and had Command Prompt setup -- since desktop functions became disabled. Command Prompt was opened "As Administrator" and I found my self in the c:\windows\system32 directory -- where I had file permissions to copy-over. But, when I tried to copy the new file into the c:\windows directory, I got a permission denied and could do nothing in that directory. PLEASE tell me the secret to replace Windows Explorer.... I am in big trouble. Thanks, Dave Quote
