mm...problem is, taht in XP you can't really boot to a pure command prompt.
you'll just be in a dos window
anyway, hold f8 at boot for options
and use the del command to delete whatever.
There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.

After holding F8, there will be options to startup in safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command promt etc. choose that command prompt.Originally Posted by motherflux
but i think its ok if you use the ordinary Safe mode option
if other ideas dont work make a windows me bootdisk and do it that way

mmmm I don't think a 9x boot disk dos thingy will read an NTFS partition (if that's what he has)
I may be wrong though.

No, a 9x/ME boot disk will not read an NTFS partition.

Ok don`t don`t just delete the file. You could boot up with the windows xp disk
and replace it with with the one in the disk. You could try "sfc" command to scan for modified "protected system files". You will be asked for your windows xp setup disk.
Anyways to delete the file you can type "del /?" for a list of options. If you want to replace a DLL file in use you will have to re-name first then replace it.
Example: assuming you have a copy of the dll on a disk
ren NTDLL.DLL NTDLL.DL
copy a:\NTDLL.DLL

Well first make sure you have a copy of NTDLL.DLL from your winXP setup disk.
Goto start/run.. type cmd .. click ok
type:
cd %SystemRoot%\system32
ren NTDLL.DLL NTDLL.DL
copy a:\NTDLL.DLL
