Hi Cathy, it would have been better to post a new message, since this thread is so 
old. That way, others will see your post and may be able to help. I'm posting step 
by step instructions, since I see they weren't included in my post. If this doesn't 
work out, please post a new message and provide as many details as you can on your 
situation. You haven't said why you're doing this. You may need to do something else. 

Using Winfile isn't the only way to do this. It's a long way, but not difficult. 
There's a way to do it in MS DOS from the command prompts. If you've still got the 
Winfile shell loading and haven't changed things back, you may as well try this. 
Step by Step.

Insert your Win98 CD rom in your drive. Select START\RUN, type SFC in the 'Open' 
box and press enter. When System File Checker opens, select 'Extract One File from 
installation disk'. Now enter EXPLORER.EXE in the search box and press enter. When 
the 'Extract File' window opens, the 'Restore From' box should be set to your CD 
rom drive letter as X:\Win98. The 'Save file in:' box should read 'C:\Windows'. Now 
select 'OK' and follow the prompts. 

OR to restore from CABS 'Restore From' from should be: C:\windows\options\cabs.
