Why do you think you need to do this? It is almost never necessary
to do so unless the file has been damaged or corrupted in which case
the computer would not boot into Windows at all.
Boot the computer with a Windows Me Startup disk.
At the A:\> prompt enter the following commands:
C:
CD\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
REN KERNEL32.DLL KERNEL32.SAV
now insert the diskette with your new kernel32.dll file
COPY A:\KERNEL32.DLL
Remove the diskette and press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to reboot the computer.
Good luck
