One is in C:\WINDOWS\system32, while the other locates in C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache. Usually, we use the file in the root "system32" folder. The one in the latter one is the backup file, which will replace the calc.exe in \system32\ once the system monitors any change of the original file. My solution is to replace the calc.exe in the "dllcache" folder first, then the one in the root "system32". Now the calculator I opened is the one with large font size.

No matter what I type as a filename, and wherever I try to place it, I get a message that states the file already exists. Any ideas? Thanks! I can’t find a way to actually save the altered file.
