Temp folder delete
I was doing some housekeeping and accidentally deleted the Temp Folder. Now
when I boot the Win 98SE computer I get the following DOS window, How can I fix this stupid mistake? I simply don't know how to access a specific folder in a DOS window C:\WINDOWS\COOKIES\INDEX.DAT C:\WINDOWS\HISTORY\HISTORY.IE5\INDEX.DAT C:\WINDOWS\TEMPOR~1\CONTENT.E5\INDEX.DAT C:\EXIT |

Temp folder delete
Are these lines appearing during the system boot? If so, I can't see how
deleting the TEMP folder would have caused those messages to appear. They seem to be the last few lines of a batch file of some sort - perhaps a file to clear out all the temporary IE files. Do Start | Run and enter MSConfig and OK, and then look at AutoExec.BAT to see what might be running during startup that could create these lines in the command window. Or are they appearing as the last few lines left on a DOS screen that is all you are getting when you try to start Windows? If so, try typing WIN and see if Windows starts. Or EXIT and then WIN. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Thomas Callaghan" wrote in message ... I was doing some housekeeping and accidentally deleted the Temp Folder.

Would it be like putting the following line in the autoexec.bat : SET Temp=C:\Windows\TEMP SET Tmp=%TEMP% Or can she just go into C:\Windows and add a folder called TEMP because those lines may already be in the Autoexec.bat, and the batch file can't find it because she deleted it?

This should recreate the temp folder in C:\Windows. Then reboot and see if it now works. |

Temp folder delete
The MSDOS window with those 4 lines appear after Win 98 boot is complete. I
can close the DOS window and everything is normal. I'd just like to fix what I screwed up. Which DIR would I look (C:\Windows or C:\) to find these files? If "Find:" isn't the proper DOS term for locating a file in DOS could you tell me what is? Thanks "Jeff Richards" wrote in message ... Are these lines appearing during the system boot?
