Where is a good site for searching on windows files and what they are? For example, one of the support guys asked me today what the file wltunins.exe was for Win98. It would be nice to be able to return with an answer. Is there a website that hasthis sort of information?

I know thiis isn't quite what you had in mind, but when I need to track down info about a system file that isn't covered in technet etc then I just search for it at google.com

a quick search on "wltunins.exe" led me to several site - some in chinese : ) - where I found out that it is the uninstallation routine for Microsoft wallet.

www.google.com is a very good way to search for everything. Just put the name of the file in the search and it should come up with lots of results

While it is a pain to search through, Microsoft does have lists posted as to what files are on each installation CD.

The files are not listed in alphabetical order, but by cabinet file that they are in.

I thought I had a link to a site with a list of Windows OS files, but could not find it.

Yes, I have found those. I use those lists when I need to extract a file, because it catalogs each cab file. Real handy. But, what I am looking for is information about the file. Thanks though. :-)
