Missing file

During a file check, the following file was reported as
missing: C:\Windows\System32\cmmgr32.exe. What is this
file and how do I get it back--if I need it. Thanks.

You can expand single files from the Windows-CD with the MSCONFIG.EXE
tool.

Hi Joy,

That should be cmmgr32.hlp, there is no cmmgr32.exe. Start/run msconfig,
click on "expand file" (general tab)

File to expand: cmmgr32.hlp
From: X:\I386
To: %windir%\system32

Where X is whatever letter is assigned your CD drive (you need your WinXP CD
for this), change it accordingly. If your system was preinstalled, you may
find this instead on the hard drive under C:\Windows\I386. If so, change the
"from" line accordingly. Reboot when finished.
