Hi pcworkers:
In light of the recent hoax about the SULFNBK.EXE file, I thought this
bit would be helpful. I got it courtesy of Fred Langa - www.langa.com -
and he doesn't mind if we share it. The infor abut the windows file
"Extract.exe" is also very helpful.
------
"If you deleted SULFNBK or simply don't know if the copy you have has
been tampered with, here's the correct way to restore the pristine,
unaltered original file(s).
(BTW: This same procedure will let you restore ANY Windows system file!)
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. If your copy of Windows came on
CD, you'll find SULFNBK.EXE inside the PRECOPY1.CAB is the CAB file. If
you have Win98 on floppies, SULFNBK.EXE is inside PRECOPY2.CAB on Disk
2.
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.
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, first, open a DOS box: Click to Start/Run and type the
word COMMAND on the run line. Hit OK, and a DOS ("Command') box will
open.
Next, 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.
If you want to know more of what EXTRACT can do, just type EXTRACT /? in
the DOS box.
