Description:
Replacer is an easy to use system file replacer
for XP. It is used to replace protected or
in-use system files. Replacer will also make a
backup of the system file before replacing.
No need to kill explorer, no need to clear any
Windows File Protection messages, no need to go
into the DllCache or ServicePackFiles, and no
need to reboot (a log off will usually suffice).
Requirements:
- Windows XP
- Administrator privileges
Installation:
Extract Replacer.zip to a folder and run the
Replacer.cmd file.
To uninstall, simply delete the folder where
Replacer is stored.
Explanation:
Basically, Replacer works by using a combination
of tools to successfully replace a protected
system file, without disturbing the user.
First, three files are extracted from the data
file into a temporary folder: db.csv,
Clear_WFP_Message.vbs, and zap.exe.
The CSV file contains a list of replaceable
system files, along with their paths and
attributes.
Clear_WFP_Message clears the Windows File
Protection message that may pop up after
replacing a file. Some anti-virus programs may
incorrectly detect this as a malicious script.
Access to this file is not required, but it is
recommended. After replacing, the script will
continue to run for about 15 seconds, to ensure
that it doesn't miss any late messages.
Zap.exe, a tool from Microsoft, forcefully
deletes the system file. This may leave
temporary files on the root of the drive (named
_@??.tmp), which will be automatically deleted
after rebooting.
If you get the error "Data extraction failed,"
you may need to install a newer version of
Microsoft's Expand tool, from the following
link (extract it to Replacer's folder):
http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer/expand.zip
Second, after the user inputs the files, a
backup is created. It is stored in the same
folder as the system file, with a "backup"
extension (such as "notepad.backup"). Then, the
replacement is copied to up to five directories
which contain backups of the system file.
Finally, the VBScript is executed to clear any
messages, and the system file is replaced. If
Replacer is closed properly (following the
on-screen instructions), the temp folder that
it uses will be automatically deleted.
Otherwise, manually delete the folder called
".ReplacerTemp" in Replacer's folder.
Scripts:
Scripts can be used to replace multiple files
at once, without any input from the user (aside
from an initial confirmation). A script is
simply a text file containing a list of files
that will be replaced.
Each script must contain the following line:
;; ReplacerScript
Type the name of the system file to be replaced,
followed by a comma, then the replacement file.
The replacement file should be relative to the
script, not Replacer.cmd:
notepad.exe,notepad-new.exe
The word RESTORE can be used to restore a file
from a backup copy, if it was previously
replaced using Replacer:
notepad.exe,RESTORE
Comments can be added with a single semicolon:
; This is a comment
To execute the script, drag and drop it onto the
Replacer.cmd file. Or, run Replacer from the
command line with the script as a parameter.
Sample script:
;; ReplacerScript
; Replace Notepad
notepad.exe,notepad-new.exe
; Restore Notepad
notepad.exe,RESTORE
