Your book analogy: The book YOU_WILL_NEVER_READ is 50 pages, 1/2" thick...replacing it with a piece of paper DO_NOT_READ_THIS_BOOK, a single page, 0.001" thick.

Because you don't really over-write or replace the file in \Windows, you just mask it's existence, the file is in ROM and can't be deleted, if you want to test this, check available memory then replace the existing file with a dummy file and check available memory again , it will not change; then delete the dummy and the original file will still be there.
The only way to permanently remove the file from \Windows would be to hack the ROM image.
