| 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?  |

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. |

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. |
