HELP!!! I am such an idiot!

I fell for the SUFLBNK.EXE hoax and deleted the file! Evidently this is need for long file names or something. How do I put it back on my C drive?

Maybe this website will help you: http://netsquirrel.com/msconfig/sulf.html

edit: If that doesn't solve it for you, I'll be happy to email you a copy of the file.

If you have access to another PC that has it, just copy it over to "\WINDOWS\COMMAND" directory.

It's only 44KB, so somebody could e-mail it to you as well. Send PM if you want it e-mailed to you.

Suflnbk Hoax

Thanks for the help. Again I show my ignorance! I forgot to post that my OS is Win 2000 Nt 4.0 and I guess that this utility is not included in this, yet it was there. I tried to do what they said but when I hit enter no window shows up so I can't go any farther. Is there a way to restore this to my system?

Yes. Windows 2000 no longer uses Extract. It uses Expand.

1) Insert the installation CD for your version of Windows. Hopefully you have access to a copy.

2) Go to Start|Run

3) Type "cmd".

4) Type

"expand X:\I386\*.cab -F:suflbnk.exe C:\windows\command"

where X is the drive letter of the drive that the installation disc is in.

If that doesn't work, try looking for other folders containing .cab files. I've never used Windows 2000, so I'm not familiar with the installation disc directory structure... hope this helps.

everything on your hard drive, but it will also delete anything on disks

your VCR and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt
to play. It will program your phone auto dial to call only 900 numbers. This

dirty underwear on the coffee table when you are expecting company. It will
replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine. If the
"Bedtimes" message is opened in a Windows 95/98 environment, it will leave
the toilet seat up and leave your hair dryer plugged in dangerously close to
a full bathtub. It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your
mattresses and pillows, it will also refill your skim milk with whole milk.
