Question about changing my DNS server to OpenDNS

[mpoole226]

So I have been reading a tone about my Sprint Touch, tweaking it here and there. In my browsing I came across a site (which I won't link since this is my first post) that has a tweak that converts your phone from DNS to OpenDNS. I understand the reg edits and ip address changes, but what I don't understand is how to stop the HTC_CM_Guardian.exe file from running each time I restart my phone. It is explained in the other forum that "we are going to take a small inert file on our device and rename it to HTC_CM_Guardian.exe and then move it to the \device\windows folder on our touch and confirm overwrite (use Resco or similar to overwrite) so the real HTC_cm_guardian won't start." Does anyone know what file to use as the "inert file" and do you know how to get this file to replace the HTC_CM_Guardian.exe file? There are a number of people that say they have done this mod and that it works great. I just can't get past this point with the information that has been given. Any help would be much appreciated.

use resco file explorer and just overwrite the exe file and you will be golden.

Ok so I got Resco opened the windows folder and went to the HTC_CM_Guardian.exe file. I selected it then went to its properties where it shows that "read-only", "system", and "rom" are checked. With "rom" greyed out. I then uncheck "read-only" and "system" then click "ok." No luck... Once I check it again "read-only" and "system" are still checked. So either I am going about this wrong or I cant unlock the file to swap it out. Any ideas?

read only through resco will be allowed to delete or overwrite. make sure you are using resco and not the stock file explorer.
