Hello,

I have been trying to delete odbctrac.dll from system32 and in any other folder in the server where it exists but it seems to keep coming back...
- Has anyone experienced this?
- Why does it keep coming back?
- How do you deleted and stop it from coming back once and for all?

Thanks in advance for all you comments

Why delete it? You can disable odbc tracking instead.

Windows 2000, and windows xp Will attempt to replace any critical system files that you are deleting. It is not wise to randomly delete DLL files from the windows systme32 folder unless you have put them there yourself or you are following instructions from a software vendor. You can kill windows installations very easily, making a clean install necessary.
Guess how I know?
