Media Player 9 files reappear after deletion

OK - is there a way to shut down the service at least long enough to get the
nerw version, or do I have to manually remove the replacement files from that
folder?

Appreciate your help.

Hi,

Delete them from the dllcache folder first, then from the program folder.
