I looked on the cd and couldn't find it. It was probably in one of the cabinet files, or I didn't look hard enough

I wish I had a backup. but its all over now and everything is back to normal. Reinstalling windows was just an hour out of my life.

No...on the CD it is compressed.....has the underscore suffix 'ex_'....you need to expand it [unpack] and copy it to the 'Windows' folder of your drive...

type expand /?

that will give you the usage details. Here they are in all their glory...

Expands one or more compressed files.

EXPAND [-r] Source Destination
EXPAND -r Source [Destination]
EXPAND -D Source.cab [-F:Files]
EXPAND Source.cab -F:Files Destination

-r Rename expanded files.
-D Display list of files in source.
Source Source file specification. Wildcards may be used.
-F:Files Name of files to expand from a .CAB.
Destination Destination file | path specification.
Destination may be a directory.
If Source is multiple files and -r is not specified,
Destination must be a directory.

HTH!

the easyest way to do is like i said take your current explorer.exe, copy it to a folder u name (extras or something)... then if the original ever gets wiped out all u have to do is copy the one in the extras folder to your windows directory .. it takes just a few seconds ......and saves alot of headaches..
