SUMMARY
Inuse.exe provides individuals and administrators with "on-the-fly" capability to replace files that are currently in use by the operating system. Although this behavior is generally accomplished by running a program's setup program or a service pack's upgrade program, the setup and upgrade process tends to replace multiple files. However, for troubleshooting purposes, you may need to replace an individual file on your computer versus an entire set of files. The Inuse program provides this level of administrative flexibility.

You can obtain InUse from the following Microsoft Web site:

InUse is primarily used to replace locked operating system files. After running the tool, the file specified is not replaced until the system is restarted. During restart, the system moves the file immediately after AUTOCHK is run, but before creating any paging files. This tool is useful for troubleshooting purposes, where you might need to replace an individual file on your computer instead of an entire set of files.

gotta wait or a restart it to actually replace the files

Where is this location? I am a little burnt out tonight. This could be a nice tool to replace files with OTHER files.
