I tried copying a new version of a file over top of an old one in a

program directory under "Program Files" and it says the size is the

new size, but when I open the file in an editor it has the old

content. I even tried deleting the file first and it shows up as

deleted in the explorer window, but when I copy in the new file has

the old content.

 

I finally gave up on using Windows Explorer and opened the two files

in the editor and copied the contents of the new one into the old

one. That worked.

 

Anyone know what was happening to prevent the old file from actually

being deleted? I even went into the recycle bin and deleted the old

file there before copying in the new version. That also failed.
