... restore any Windows 98 system file with an original
"How to" Index

 


In Windows98, most system files---including the original copy of SULFNBK.EXE--- are found in compressed CAB ("cabinet") Files on the original Windows Setup CD or floppies.

1. Finding the CAB files.

If your copy of Windows came on CD, SULFNBK.EXE (inside PRECOPY1.CAB) is the CAB file. If you have Win98 on floppies, SULFNBK.EXE is inside PRECOPY2.CAB on Disk 2.

2. Opening the CAB files.

UNZIPPING. Some utilities--- such as WinZip ( http://www.winzip.com ) let you treat CAB files exactly the same as ZIP files. WinZip can open the CAB files to let you see what's inside, mark any file for extraction, and then extract it to the location you designate.

EXTRACTING. If you don't have WinZip or a similar easy-to-use extraction tool, you can use the command-line EXTRACT.EXE which ships with Windows. It's normally found in the \Windows\Command folder. To use EXTRACT

  • Click "Start" and then "Run"
  • Type the word COMMAND on the run line.
  • Hit OK, and a DOS ("Command') box will open.
  • Get your Windows CD or floppies. In the following example, we'll assume you have a CD and that your CD drive is D:. (Adjust the commands as needed for other drives or locations.
  • In the DOS box, type cd \windows\command This gets you into the correct folder, usually C:\Windows\Command.
  • Next, type: extract d:precopy1.cab sulfnbk.exe and hit enter. (Answer "Y" if asked.)

That's it--- your brand-new copy of SULFNBK.EXE is now in Windows\Command, as it should be.
