So, what you could do is *before* the boot use RegEdit to find that
value and see the name of the module which should be renamed.

Oh.  There are two copies, one in  System32  and one in  dllcache.
Are they both being replaced at the same time?

Having two cases to trace would make the analysis of both traces
much simpler.   All you would need to consider would be significant
differences, without necessarily understanding what any of it actually
meant.   ; )

But first I would try using  ProcExp  to find out what proceses are
using that module and which ones I could do without.   Again, having
two cases would mean that you could compare lists and then focus
only on the differences between them.


Good luck
