use a bootable floppy (preferably the one that will find the CD drive for you, I say this because I don't know the size of user.exe and where you would store it.)

copy the user.exe file (if on floppy (if it fits) or on CD) to the windows folder or where it is found.

Try to use the System File Checker utility that is found only in Windows 98. At the run menu, type in sfc.exe. This program can check all the important system files for changes and allow you to restore them to their original state from the cab files on the windows cd or on your hard drive.
