Files Recreating Themselves

[Rex]

Hi there,

Read somewhere that one can rename os2.exe; os2srv.exe; psxss.exe; os2ss.exe' and posix.exe so that they don't load anything to do with OS2. So gave them all a *.xxx extension.

Having done that and checked WINNIT/Sys32, the files have been recreated. Now have (for example) os2.exe and os2.xxx.

If these files are not needed, can they be permanently deleted?

Many thanks for your advice,

Rex
