no answer to the real problem, but quick view and notepad will not open some programs/rich text.
do not go for super kill, but try something like wordpad if it is on your system [I assume it might be from the correspondence ]. I have managed to "translate" programs from one format to the other by good luck more than anything else, but the fact is if you can get it into plain text format then you can relabel it and rename the file so it will run. btw, if the file are not missing from your system, and if everything is working fine, why not just move them to the "weird" folder until you need to look at them again. ----- Original Message ----- From: "puterbug.com" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 12:49 AM Subject: [wdvltalk] Re: OT .cab files moved by accident need help returning them : At 12:19 AM 2/17/2003 -0800, you wrote: : >They look like install files from a program you recently installed.
