I have a question about Using .CAB Files:

This directs users of windows 98 to the Microsoft CabView utility, but when I reach the download page it says; "NOTE: This download is not intended for use on computers running Microsoft® Windows® 98, or on computers running Microsoft® Windows® 95 OSR 1 or earlier versions." so, does anybody else know about Windows 98 and cab files?

This is basically telling you that the Powertoys were not developed for the operating systems listed - basically it's a "we're not responsible when it blows up" statement. You can actually install each of the utilities separately, and I see no reason why CabView would not work in any of the operating systems listed.

A CAB file viewer is built into Win98. There's no need to install the Power Toy.
