I am having problems with a bad shlwapi.dll file and would like to extract it from a cab file but not sure what cab file it is located in. I am running windows 95b with ie4. Any and all help is appreciated.

I have win98 Second Edition and the .dll is located in win98_41.cab. When I am not sure which cab file contains the backup copy of a file I am trying to replace... I go into dos, change directory to the folder where all the cab files are located and type the following: extract /a win98_21.cab shlwapi.dll /l c:\. The /a will cause the extract command to start at the cab file listed after /a and continue through all the cab files until it finds shlwapi.dll, and the /l will tell the extract command to put the extracted file in the directory listed, in this case, the root of the c drive.
