I have setup other servers in the past and have always
renamed cmd.exe to something only I know.  I am trying to
do this on server 2003 and the file is not being changed.
Is this a bad thing to do?  How do I change it and keep it
changed?

what is 'not being changed' ?
system revert it back ?

by default in IIS 6.0, only administrative users have access to commandline
tool.

I rename cmd.exe to mynewname.exe and later there is
cmd.exe and mynewname.exe in the same folder.  I don't
know how this is being 're-created'.  I am renaming it
while logged on as an admin??

Thanks
Mike
