Recycle Bin – Fixing/Restoring

Your recycled bin folder may have become damaged. To re-create it, do:

F8 bootup/Command prompt only and type exactly below including spaces and press return after each

command:

cd\

deltree /y recycled\*.*

Repeat for each disk drive.

Then re-boot the machine. Windows will make a new repaired recycled bin/folder for you. Repeat for all

drives/partitions. You may also have to install the free MS TweakUI, (on CD) at

http://www.d-sheppard.f2s.com/tweakui.htm

and use some of it's repair options after doing above.

Security Tricks – Windows 98

Securing OE and IE

First, make sure you are running at least IE 5.5 SP2. Prevents stuff like the “nimba” worm from working.

This is on the CD. Also, using Control Panel | Internet Options to do the following:

1) Go to the Security tab; make sure Internet is highlighted and click the Custom Level button.

2) Now under Java Permissions, click the "Disable Java" radio button, and set everything under Scripting to

"Disable". Click OK twice.

SHELL32.DLL – Invalid Page Fault

I can't run my windows at all after opening a few folders...There is this error message: 'Explorer caused an

invalid page fault in module SHELL32.DLL at 0167:7fcb1946'. I can't even used my floppy drive or my cd

rom drive at all. I thinking that reinstalling my windows might help.

First, read http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q259096

. A registry modification

might solve this problem.

You can try manually extracting shell32.dll from a command prompt using a startup floppy and your

Win98 CD. Note that that file (shell32.dll) was also recently updated, so if you get the system up and

running, you may want to revisit the WindowsUpdate site.

To manually extract the file, boot the system with a startup floppy that has CD support and use the CD

support option. Insert the Win98CD, from the A prompt, run this command:

1 2 ... 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 ... 211 212
