Hey ScubaS

I use notepad2.exe, I change the name to notepad.exe, then use makecab on it,

notepad.ex_, then copy to i386 file, overwrite when asked to, add reg tweak with

the rest of my tweaks.......

I do the same thing. For the registry entries, why don't you just import it using cmdlines.txt

The problem that you are experiencing might be because of the Windows File Protection. It will not allow you to replace system files.
