Cannot replace imageres.dll (winsystem32), File in Use?

[kbeck]

Trying to change the "imageres.dll" file to remove a stupid theme this
computer came with. I've modified the file using ResHacker using all
the proper image resolutions (and the images I want, the regular vista
ones), but it will not let me overwrite the file.

It seems to have nothing to do with permissions (they are all enabled
properly), but I get the error as "Can not overwrite this file because
it is in use by another program". What else can I do to try and replace
it?

Try booting with a rescue disk/Live linux CD and then replacing the file ?
