Vista - Copying files to laptop

A friend has just bought a laptop with Vista Home Premium 64-bit. I'll be
helping him get it set up and install some programs. Installation of one
program will require that I copy four updated .dll files to its home folder a
couple of levels down under Program Files when Vista is not running (the files
are running when Windows is and can't be copied over then). I can handle that
in systems with 32-bit XP by using inuse.exe from Win2K, but I have no idea how
to go about it with 64-bit Vista.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Or boot into safe mode and copy the files over.
Or boot from a BartPE type disk and copy them.

Thanks, but the .dll files are running in the background in safe mode as well.

BartPE says it's not for 64-bit, which this Vista is.

The boot disk contains an operating system based on XP.
You can create a BartPE boot disk on your XP machine.
If you don't want to create your own boot disk I have created one with basic functions, here's the iso image:

It's a 79 M/B zip file. Extract and burn to cd then boot from it.

A very huge thank you for that, Dave. I downloaded and burned it and have
already checked it out on a box with Win 7 Beta. It works like a charm!

Thanks again.

I have been playing around with the Ultimate Boot CD for Windows ,
http://www.ubcd4win.com/
The original iso weighs in at 644 M/b. As I wanted just a Windows boot cd
I cut out a lot of the bloat like games, screensavers, multiboot screens, Dos, Linux
and pointless trial versions of antivirus software.
It is now a 350 M/B iso image with network and usb support.
It's got SuperAntiSpyware so you can boot from this and then download the latest definitions.
There is a much better remote registry editing program and also Windows explorer as default.
The whole Desktop is cleaned up to classic view, no wallpaper etc.
It's set to UK keyboard by default but you can change that to US or whatever in the Start menu.

Also, as your friend didn't get any disks with his laptop you may need
the Vista Repair cd sometime in the future:

Vista Repair.part1.rar (57.22 MB)

Vista Repair.part2.rar (55.46 MB)

(You will need Winrar to unpack it these files .)
