Spybot won't run

[rwphood]

I have tried to rename Spybot.exe to explorer.exe following instructions from Sandra and got as far as 'Uncheck - Hide protected operating system file (recommended) when Microsoft stopped me with a notice - These files are required to start and run Windows. Deleting or editing them can make the computer inoperable.
What about deleting Spybot S&D 1.6 and downloading 1.6.2.?

That's a standard warning from Microsoft,if you click Yes to continuing on you can keep going with the instructions.

I did click run, after getting irritated with not being held back, and got held up, and also reclicked "Hide protected files" to its original position, as previously suggested by Matt. Then ran a scan
I checked the Spybot configuration, and it has 20,008 blacklisted files. Why are these there and how can I check them.

In what part of Tools or Spybot are you seeing 20,008 blacklisted files?
