Make sure that "Look in" is set to (C:) and that Include subfolders is

the file, write down the location of Precopy1, for example,
C:\Windows\Options\Cabs. This is your Source Path.6. The general form of the
Extract command is:extract /a <Source Path>\precopy1.cab sulfnbk.exe /L
c:\windows\commandNOTE: Make sure that you include the /a switch, as shown.
Depending on your version of Windows, the Sulfnbk,exe file can be in a .cab
file other than Precopy1.cab. By using the /a switch, the Extract program
will look first in the Precopy1.cab, and if the file is not found there, it
will look in all subsequent .cab files until it is found, and can be
extracted.So if the source path is C:\Windows\Options\Cabs, then the Extract
command becomes:extract /a c:\windows\options\cabs\precopy1.cab sulfnbk.exe
/L c:\windows\commandNOTE: If you installed Windows to a different location,
make the appropriate substitution.7. Click Start and then click Run.8. Type
the following, making the appropriate substitutions as previously
notedextract /a <Source Path>\precopy1.cab sulfnbk.exe /L
c:\windows\command9. Click OK.
extract /a <Source Path>\precopy1.cab sulfnbk.exe /L c:\windows\command9.
Click OK.
