How do you delete oleaut32.dll from windows95? It tells me its in use when I try to delete it from explorer. When I use my DLL monitor I do not see it. Is there a way to unload it?

Thanx...

Boot in DOS mode. Replace the file.

Deleting this file would be a bad idea, since some of the windows sub-system depends upon OLE, like Windows Explorer.

Deleting the file is a bad idea.
You can unload any dll with the following application. REGSVR32.exe. This is shiped with Windows 95/NT machines.
Usage
regsvr32 /u name.dll

Hope this works out for you.
