How to recover accidentally deleted iexplore.exe
Hi:
In deleting Earthlink files in my old computer (Dell Dimension L667r running windows 98 SE), I accidentally deleted iexplore.exe. Can someone please suggest a recovery procedure?
Best wishes,
Fred

Go to Start|Settings|Control Panel|Add/Remove Programs and look for Microsoft Internet Explorer X and Internet Tools. Click to remove it and you will see a context menu which offers to either repair the current installation or roll back to the prior version (assuming you have upgraded since receiving the computer).

Hi:
I went through the procedure and chose the restore previous version option. The computer completely uninstalled Internet Explorer and now it isn't even listed on the "Add/Remove Programs." Apparently there was no previous version. Dell didn't supply an installation CD for Internet Explorer that I can find. The "Dell Product Recovery CD" is apparently for Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition. The "Dell Dimension ResourceCD" doesn't list Internet Explorer. Any further suggestions?

I found the CD for Internet Explorer 6 SP 1 (for Windows 98 and all other non-XP versions) available on the Microsoft web site and have ordered it. I hope that will solve my problem.

Hi:
Thanks for the suggestion. I have a whole slough of IE files, as follows:
ie6setup,exe, iesetup.dir, and iesetup.ini.
IE_EXTRA.CAB, IE_S1.CAB, IE_S2.CAB, IE_S3.CAB, IE_S4.CAB, IE_S5.CAB, IE_S6.CAB, IEDATA.CAB, IEDOM.CAB, IEEXINST.CAB, and IELPKAD.CAB.
Even if I wait for the CD, I'm curious how one would go about installing from all of these.
Best wishes,
Fred
