Posted October 1, 200816 yr 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.
