Hi,

I had the same problem with wscript.exe - you know, the Windows
script host. I always deleted it to avoid running worm virusses via
VBScript.

However, on my Win2000 Pro, it kept coming back.

If you turn on 'View system files and folders' in the Explorer options,
you'll notice a folder C:\WINNT\system32\dllcache -- I removed the
file from there, got a dialog saying that 'some system files' have been
changed and it prompted for the Win2000 CD. I pressed 'cancel'
here and it never got restored. Perhaps this helps?
