Operating System
Autoplay – Using Shift Key To Disable
To insert a CD and prevent it from automatically loading anything (autoplay), hold down the Shift Key
before inserting the CD and keep it depressed until the CD is ready.
New copy protection being tested by BMG music has been foiled by a Princeton PhD student using
advanced techniques, such as holding down the shift key. Apparently, SunnComm's new technology relies
on standard Windows Operating System "autorun" features to keep people from ripping entire CDs for
electronic distribution.

Boot.ini – What a single OS Boot looks like
Your boot.ini file should look similar to this for a one partition drive:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Home" /fastdetect
CAB Files – Extracting
Are you trying to search for a file called SFC.DLL from the Win98 .CAB files? If so, here's a command
line trick to extract the file for you automatically. NOTE: The below command assumes the following:
A folder called 'EXTRACT' is created on Drive C. Your CDROM Drive letter is D (for your windows98
CD). To extract the necessary files, type the following command.
EXTRACT /A /L C:\EXTRACT D:\WIN98\BASE4.CAB SFC*.*
Any file beginning with SFC will be extracted to the C:\EXTRACT folder.
An easier way: To find a file in a .cab, open Explorer and select the folder containing the .cab files. Open
the Tools menu, click Find, Files and type: *.Cab in the Named box. Type the name of the wanted file in
the Containing Text box and click Find Now.
You can also use SFC.exe to find and replace an individual file from a .cab.
Here is a Microsoft article describing how to extract a file from a CAB:

As an alternative, some people use WinZip for cab files, as well as ZIP files...
