My application includes riched20.dll v4.0 which carried by MSOffice 10.
But the file has the same name is v 3.0 in my winnt\system32.
If I copy the new file into winnt\system32, the system will use the older instead of it immediately.
My OS is Win2000.
The files CAN be copied in Win98.
how to change a file that being used

wasnt there a plugin to update DLLs?
That's because important system files which should not be changed have 'Windows File Protection' (in ME/2000/XP). So you cannot put this file in the System directory.
richedit
BTW you can place it in your program dir, this dir will be checked first during the search for that dll.
