You can grab the "extract.exe" util from M$ (used to be included in Win9x) to 
extract files from a .cab file here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/extract-o.asp

 From that URL:

"Using Windows 2000, and Windows 98 with Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 and later, 
you can use Windows Explorer to view and extract files from .cab files."

runs better.  Why didn't they just tell me to do that to begin with?
