If you are tired of having to reach for the win98x disk everytime you make a hardware adjustment, try this.

You will have to have the Win98 disk to do this.

1. Create a folder on C:\ drive named CAB
2. Copy all CAB files from the Win98 disk to the new folder.
3. With Notepad open C:\autoexec.bat.
4. If there is an autoexec.bat file and no path statement add one by typing path=C:\path; on a new line.

If one exists and has a line that starts with "path=" add the new folder to the path. You do this by closing the last path on the line with a ";" and then typing "C:\CAB;". Save autoexec.bat file.

If there is no autoexec.bat file, type "path=C:\path;" in Notepad and save the document as autoexec.bat.

In the future, each time your computer boots, Win 98 will automatically set C:\CAB as a folder for Win 98 to check when installing new hardware.
