Presumably you are looking for some USB driver files, most of which are
contained in BASE2.CAB. You'll need to look at your Windows\Options\CAB (or
Install) folder and look for the location of BASE2.CAB.

There 'should' be a copy (unless it's been removed to save space on your
hard drive) of ALL of the installation files in the either of the
Windows\Options\Install (if MS version of WinMe) or \Cab (if OEM version of
WinMe) folder.

You could also try searching your WinMe CD for the BASE2.CAB.
