ME installation disk files
Can anyone tell me where the explorer.exe file is located
on the Windows ME installation disk. When I do a search of the cd, this file is not located, however it must be there. I am assuming that the file is compressed or zipped in another file with a different name. Does anyone know where this file is so that I can copy it onto a separate disk? Please help - thanks! |

It's in the \win9x\WIN_16.CAB on the WinMe CD - and/or in the same cab on
your C:\ drive in the Windows\Options\Instal or CABS folder. It is compressed so use msconfig.exe to extract it. Mart wrote in message ...

Can you elaborate on the "use msconfig.exe to extract
it". I have located the WIN_16.CAB file on the cd and it appears as a zip file. If you can provide further detail as to using the msconfig.exe, it would be greatly appreciated. Is it possible for me to just use winzip to decompress the file and thus located the explorer.exe file? -----Original Message----- It's in the \win9x\WIN_16.CAB on the WinMe CD - and/or in the same cab on your C:\ drive in the Windows\Options\Instal or CABS folder.

Start | Run then type "msconfig" (no quotes) in the box and then OK it.
Then on the General tab, look for the File Extraction utility (I think it *may* be under advanced - I don't have an ME PC to hand) But yes, you should be able to use WinZip to open the CAB file and extract (decompress) explorer.exe.
