Use Wininit.ini, stored in windows-startup-directory, most c:\windows

[rename]

DestinationFile=SourceFile

for example:

[rename]
c:\windows\fonts\arial.ttf=c:\windows\fonts\arial.win

c:\windows\system\advapi32.dll=c:\windows\system\advapi32.tmp


If you use:

Nul=FileName


the file will be deleted.


Wininit.ini will be interpreted by WININIT.EXE at startup.

Copy the wininit.ini within LOGIN-Script to WS an d remember that you have
