Copy To System 32

I am going through a procedure and it asks me to copy 2 files to system 32 as read only files.

how do i do this please as i can not find it anywhere in the help files.

 

If you right click the files you need to copy and select them as read only, does this work? Then copy them into the System 32 folder.

 

if i right click i get the menu and can select COPY TO but do not know how to proceed from there I.E how to access the system 32.

i am logged in as administrator

 

Right click the file then choose properties, sorry I should've been more specific.

 

Sorry MC A i had to go away for a while.

yep i can get to that screen but can do nothing with it,it gives me GENERAL/VERSION/FILE HASHES

 

What are the two files that you need to put in system32?

 

Look at the bottom on the general tab. It should be the same for XP I believe.

 

It is the same and the attributes say that a read only file is.

the files are for a dutch translator program and to get it to run in English it asks that i copy the 2 files to system 32.

 

I don't understand the difficulty.

Are you getting these files from the net or a CD?

Can you not simply download (not copy) them to some suitable place on the hard drive,
e.g c:\temp
Then you can select these files and set their attributes as required
and copy them to their eventual resting place

 

i have the files in the PC stored in my documents but i have never tried to copy anything to system 32 before and i am trying to help a friend who is less savvy than me, we are like two bulls in the china store.

 

Haha, nice anatogy there.

You just need to right click the files, select properties, tick the read only box, then click ok. After doing for both, just copy them into X:\Windows\System 32, X denotes the default drive letter (usually C).

 

Thanks for the input but it just does not want to work so i give up before i break my PC i will let him have a printout of the info and he can go and play with it.

thanks again for trying to help a dummy:confused

 

I asked my question because you say you are using Internet Explorer.

Why, if you are not downloading?

You should be using Windows Explorer.
Hold the windows key down and hit the letter E.

 

Thank u guys
i am a complete novice when it comes to such things and have a very limited knowledge of the internals of the PC so what was obviously a simple task for you became a complete new learn for me.

during the time i tried to get the thing to work i became suspicious that what in fact he was trying to do was insert some sort of crack to the program so i have sent him on his way.

for future reference does anybody know a web page that explains in IDIOT how to insert into SYSTEM 32
