OK. Reply to the following here in this thread segment-- & nowhere else...!...
Where is your Win98_49.cab-- what directory...?...
(a) "START button, Programs, MS-DOS Prompt"
(b) At the DOS Prompt...
DIR C:\Win98_49.cab /s
Here is how it might go...
C:\>DIR C:\Win98_49.cab /s
Directory of C:\OPTIONS\CABS
WIN98_49 CAB 1,802,240 04-23-99 10:22p WIN98_49.CAB
Then your directory would be... C:\OPTIONS\CABS.
(c) Replace the following with your own directory, if different...
EXTRACT /d C:\Options\Cabs\Win98_49.cab Tiki.htm
Here is the result I get. What did it say for you...?...
C:\>EXTRACT /d E:\Options\Cabs\Win98_49.cab Tiki.htm
Cabinet Win98_49.cab
04-23-1999 10:22:00p A--- 393 tiki.htm
That is just a display-- no extract was done.
You may stop, & just report what you saw, or...
(d) IF you get that, then your Win98_49.cab is fine. So, do this EXTRACT...
"EXTRACT /L C:\Progra~1\Common~1\Micros~1\Statio~1 C:\Options\Cabs\Win98_49.cab Tiki.htm"
Copy everything between the quotes (but not the quotes) & past it to the DOS screen with that 3rd button. That should be ONE line with THREE spaces: one after "EXTRACT", one after "Statio~1" & one after Win98_49.cab.
MAKE SURE EVERYTHING BETWEEN THE QUOTES IS ON THE DOS LINE, or you might extract the WHOLE cab, instead of just "Tiki.htm"! No good!
That was the SFN (Short File Name) for...
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Stationery
(e) Open Explorer to that folder, & rename "Tiki.htm" to "Tiki Lounge.htm".
That should do it!
| Another problem: What causes the folders changing types? Example:
| some of my folders changed to Outlook Express like the Outlook
| Express is pictured on the Desktop An envelope with an arrow around
| it. Mine did that while I was using the computer I noticed it. Then I
| shut it down when I was done for the night. When I re-started it the
| next day, the desktop was back to normal.
