Do it like so:
----------------------
c:
cd\windows\system
del comctl32.ocx
del comdlg32.ocx
copy d:\DIR???\comctl32.ocx c:\windows\system
copy d:\DIR???\comdlg32.ocs c:\windows\system
regsvr32 /u comdlg32.ocx
regsvr32 /u comctl32.ocx
regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx
regsvr32 comctl32.ocx
echo.
echo That's it boys and girls, please reboot your machine now.
--------------------------
You don't need those dashes, just there to show contents of .bat file.
Yes, the .bat file can be located on the desktop, and while it is
running, you will see a command prompt window open, but closes when
complete.
It would have to be rewritten to reflect the "DIR??" part....hopefully
that is a common location on all machines, so once you determine the
folder, tweak the .bat file and then won't have to worry about future
changes.
