is there a website out there that lists the contents files within each cab file for windows98?

[spanky]

i'm working on a pc that won't boot becuz there is a mess of files missing or corrupted. i figure i can try to re-extract those files from the cabs, but i am not sure which cab file to get each specific file. i've been looking on google for the past 20 minutes. maybe i am using the wrong search strings? i've been looking for "windows 98 cab file contents list extract"... or some combination of those words. would anyone happen to have a link handy? your help would be greatly appreciated

extract /a /y /l:c:\yourdestiniation base4.cab yourfilename.xxx

This will search through all the cabs in the current directory (run it from the win98 dir on the cd) and find the file that you need to extract. just set the /l: option to the directory that you want to extract it to.

no need for a website...

just type in the file you are looking for in find(search) aka Start ---> Find under "containing text" type in the file your are searching for and point the location to your cab file directory and simply extract the file using the instruction listed above
