May I please ask how you guys found these files in the cab folders? I mean, how do you look inside them?

61845 2002-07-12 23:42:00 Well, Susan, according to a Win98 reference book a cabinet file viewer is built into Win98, but I'm sure I installed Cabview from the Win95 Power Toys package any way.
This enables you to see inside a cab file and also to extract files by right clicking on them. So you can search manually through each .cab, it doesn't take long.

I think my rush into print shows the virtue of doing the research first, but it's so easy to get carried away.

Thanks for that info Steve, that will save searching. I'm just a bit puzzled as to why krnl386.exe should have been deleted, and has anything else also gone, was it anything to do with Linux?

61846 2002-07-12 23:42:00 Hi Susan, I can't speak for Terry But with winME & xp both come with their own equivalent of winzip & its as easy as double click on the cab file & all the files inside can be seen, Easy peasy Aye?
I just used search function & told it to look in cdrom. :-)
Or you can use winzip,Just right click on the cab file you want to look into & choose open with winzip from the drop down menu.(had to fire up the kids pc to make sure)lol
not sure if you can do the search if using winzip.

Yep you can , i just tried it :-)

61847 2002-07-13 11:49:00 I can't find a cab viewer on my Win 98 and Help doesn't produce any clues. I do have Power Toys for Win 95 somewhere though, but not on this machine.

WinZip tries to open some of the .cab files on my system (not the Windows ones) but they are "too old" for WinZip to do the job.

It's not important - at the moment - but I just thought it would be handy to know how it was done. Thanks anyway. :-)

61848 2002-07-14 06:07:00 It was my Brian Livingstone book that said Win98 had its own cab viewer. I dont think this can be right else I wouldn't have installed cabview from Power Toys. It's worth doing, together with Send To and Target. Terry Porritt (14)
