Extracting Windows Files from an Unknown Cabinet File
Extracting a Single File:
If you do not know which cabinet file contains the Windows file you want to extract, use the following command to search all the cabinet files in sequential order and then extract the file once it is found:
If you do not know which cabinet file contains the Windows file you want to extract, use the following command to search all the cabinet files in sequential order and then extract the file once it is found:
extract /a <cabinet> <filename> /l <destination>
For example, to extract the Unidrv.dll file from disks in drive A into the WindowsSystem folder on drive C, use the following command:
extract /a a:win95_02.cab unidrv.dll /l c:windowssystem
The /a switch causes the Extract tool to search all the cabinet files starting with the first cabinet file mentioned on the command line (in this example, Win95_02.cab). Insert the disk containing the first cabinet file mentioned in the appropriate disk drive. You will be prompted to insert additional disks as they are needed. If you are extracting from a CD-ROM you must modify the <cabinet> parameter accordingly to reflect the actual location of the cabinet files.
NOTE: In Windows 98, you should use the Base4.cab file in command lines with the /a parameter.
If the Extract tool cannot find the specified Windows 95 file in any of the cabinet files, the file may be located in the Mini.cab, Precopy1.cab, or Precopy2.cab cabinet file. Use the following two commands to search these cabinet files:
- extract /a a:precopy1.cab <filename> /l <destination>
- extract a:mini.cab <filename> /l <destination>
NOTE: The first command searches the Precopy1.cab and the Precopy2.cab cabinet files. The second command searches the Mini.cab cabinet file. If you are extracting from a CD-ROM, you must modify the <cabinet> parameter in these commands accordingly.
Extracting Multiple Files:
To extract multiple files, use the same syntax as above, but use a wildcard designation for the <filename> parameter. For example, to extract all the Windows 95 files with a .txt extension from disks in drive A to the Windows folder on drive C, use the following command:
Extracting Multiple Files:
To extract multiple files, use the same syntax as above, but use a wildcard designation for the <filename> parameter. For example, to extract all the Windows 95 files with a .txt extension from disks in drive A to the Windows folder on drive C, use the following command:
extract /a a:win95_02.cab *.txt /l c:windows
Note that if you are extracting from a CD-ROM, you must modify the <cabinet> parameter in this command accordingly.
Finding Windows Files
Finding a Single File:
You can use the Extract tool to determine which cabinet file contains a particular Windows file. When you use this syntax, the Extract tool searches the cabinet files but does not extract the file once it is found:
You can use the Extract tool to determine which cabinet file contains a particular Windows file. When you use this syntax, the Extract tool searches the cabinet files but does not extract the file once it is found:
extract /a /d <cabinet> <filename>
For example, to find the Windows 95 Unidrv.dll file, starting with the Win95_02.cab file, using disks in the A drive, use the following command:
extract /a /d a:win95_02.cab unidrv.dll

For example, to extract the Windows 95 Unidrv.dll file from the Win95_10.cab file on a disk in drive A to the WindowsSystem folder on drive C, use the following command:
extract a:win95_10.cab unidrv.dll /l c:windowssystem
Extracting Multiple Files:
Gimp 32 bit chip. To extract multiple files from a cabinet file, use the same syntax as above, but use a wildcard designation for the <filename> parameter. For example, to extract all the Windows 95 files that have a .txt extension from the Win95_06.cab file on a disk in drive A to the Windows folder on drive C, use the following command:
extract a:win95_06.cab *.txt /l c:windowssystem
Listing the Contents of Cabinet Files
You can use the Extract tool to list the contents of cabinet files without actually extracting any files. To display the contents of a cabinet file, use the following syntax:
extract /d <cabinet>
To display the contents of all the cabinet files in a cabinet chain, starting with the specified cabinet file, use the following syntax:
extract /a /d <cabinet>
For example, to display the contents of all the Windows 95 cabinet files using disks in drive A, starting with the Win95_02.cab file, use the following command:
extract /a /d a:win95_02.cab
NOTE: The /a switch causes the Extract tool to list the contents of all the cabinet files in the cabinet chain, starting with the first cabinet file mentioned.
Copying Cabinet Files to a Hard Disk
Although you cannot make copies of the original Windows 95 floppy disks using the utilities that are included with Windows 95, you can use the Extract tool to copy cabinet files from a CD-ROM or floppy disk to your hard disk. To do so, use the following syntax:
extract /c <cabinet> <destination>
For example, to copy the Win95_02.cab file from a disk in drive A to the Windows folder on drive C, use the following command:
extract /c a:win95_02.cab c:windows
NOTE: You cannot use the /a and /c switches at the same time. Therefore, you cannot copy all the cabinet files using a single command.
Other Optional Switches
- Use the /y switch to cause the Extract tool to not prompt you before overwriting an existing file. If you use this switch when you are extracting a file, any file in the destination folder with the same name as the file you are extracting is automatically overwritten.
For example, to extract the Unidrv.dll file from the Win95_02.cab file on a disk in drive A to the WindowsSystem folder on drive C and automatically overwrite any existing Unidrv.dll file that is already there, use the following command:extract /y /a a:win95_02.cab unidrv.dll /l c:windowssystem
- Use the /e switch in place of the '*.*' wildcard designation when you are extracting or finding multiple files. For example, to extract all the files from the Win95_06.cab file on a disk in drive A to the Windows folder on drive C, use either of the following commands:
- extract /e a:win95_06.cab /l c:windows
- extract a:win95_06.cab *.* /l c:windows
- extract /e a:win95_06.cab /l c:windows
For a complete list of the command-line switches for the Extract tool, type 'extract' (without quotation marks) at a command prompt.
System File Checker Tool
Windows 98 includes a System File Checker tool. You can use this tool to verify the integrity of your operating system files, to restore them if they are damaged, or to extract compressed files from the Windows 98 CD-ROM. NOTE: To use System File Checker to extract a compressed file from the Windows 98, follow these steps:
- Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Information.
- On the Tools menu, click System File Checker.
- Click 'Extract one file from installation disk,' type the name of the file you want to extract in the 'Specify the system file you would like to restore' box, and then click Start.
- In the Restore From box, type the path to the Win98 folder on the Windows 98 CD-ROM, type the destination folder in the Save File In box if necessary, and then click OK.
- Click OK, click OK, and then click Yes when you are prompted to restart your computer.
NOTE: If you do not specify a source cabinet (.cab) file in the Restore From box, System File Checker first searches for the file you are extracting in the specified folder (outside of a cabinet file). System File Checker then searches all cabinet files, sorted by MS-DOS directory order, in the specified folder. System File Checker extracts the first instance of the file it finds. To determine the order in which System File Checker searches cabinet files, type 'dir' (without quotation marks) at a command prompt in the specified folder.
Using a Windows 98 or Windows Me Startup Disk to Access a CD-ROM and Extract Files
When you install Windows 98 or Windows Me, you are prompted to create a Windows 98 or Windows Me Startup disk. A feature included in the Windows 98 or Windows Me Startup disk is support for CD-ROM drives. This may be of benefit if you need to extract a file from the Windows 98 CD-ROM but you are unable to use System File Checker (for example, if your computer does not start properly).
NOTE: The Windows 98 Startup disk provides support for most types of CD-ROM drives, including IDE and SCSI CD-ROM drives, but it may not support your particular CD-ROM drive.
A Windows 98 Startup disk is required to perform the steps in the following sections of this article. If you do not have one, you can create one using any Windows 98-based computer to which you have access. To create a Windows 98 Startup disk, follow these steps:

Create A Compressed Folder In Windows 10
Since Windows XP, you can create zip files on Windows, without having to own a special kind of software like WinZip or WinRAR; this remains true in Windows Vista and Windows 7. Microsoft took the magic away from creating zip files (compressed folders), and now anyone can do it. This tutorial will go over the creation process, and explain how to add files and even folders to a compressed folder. As a side note, zip files you create in Windows 7 will be compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista, as well as Mac OS X and Linux (users on those operating systems will be able to open them).
Create a compressed folder in Windows 7
Follow these steps to make a new zip file on your computer:
- First, navigate to the folder in which you want to create your compressed folder: this can be any folder inside Windows Explorer, or your desktop itself.
- Then, right-click on an empty area of the selected folder or your desktop (don't click on a file or folder, otherwise you'll get the 'context menu' for this particular item).
- From the right-click menu, choose 'New'; and from that submenu, click on 'Compressed (zipped) Folder', as shown on the screenshot below:
- As soon as you do, Windows 7 will add a new zip file, and let you choose a name for it; if you hit Enter, it will call it a default name, something like 'New Compressed (zipped) Folder'. Make sure that you use a meaningful name that describes the content of the zip file to you or others with whom you'll share it (on the network, by email, etc.)
So, type a name for the compressed folder, and hit Enter to save it. - This is it! Now that you have created your zipped folder, we will show you how to add files to it.
Add files and folders to a zipped / compressed folder in Windows 7
Microsoft has made it very easy to work with zipped folders, and for the most part, you'll find that they generally behave just like regular folders!
- There are two ways to add files to a compressed folder in Windows 7 - since both amount to the same result, just memorize and use the one you prefer (which is easiest may also depend on the situation).
- Method 1: double-click on the compressed / zipped folder to open it; now, you can either drag files from other folders and drop them inside the compressed folder, or you can copy them from other directories on your computer, and then paste them inside the zip file.
- Method 2: don't open the zip file ↑ just drag the files you want zipped and drop them on top of the compressed folder you just created. Windows 7 will automatically add all these files to the zipped folder, and you are done! Windows 7 will show you a 'Copy' tooltip, indicating when you can drop.
- A copy of all the files and folders you dropped in or on top of the compressed / zipped folder is now inside it, and you can email them, create a backup with it, etc.
Tip: the amount of disk space saved by storing files inside compressed folders depends on the type of files you are archiving; 'binary files' like movies and pictures are often already compressed, and storing them inside a zipped folder won't make much of a difference. Word documents, web pages, and text files, for example, will compress very well, and the amount of hard drive storage saved will be noticeable. See how you can get file sizes.
Regardless of file size, a compressed folder is a very practical way, for example, to email a group of file as a single file attachment - otherwise you'd have to attach one file at a time!
