I accidently deleted the Control Panel File on my old computer (which still runs Windows95). I think the file was called Rundll32.\n\nThe recycle bin has been emptied. Is there any way to retrieve the file? I don't want to re-install Windows because then I'll lose some old programs that I still would like to keep. Thanks for any help offered.

go to start/program files/accessories and look for system restore. now restore your computer to a point (date) before you erased your folder and follow the instructions through. your system will automatically do the rest and if you did it correctly it will reboot with your control panel in place. if not, then i must inform you with regret, reinstall xp. make sure you backup all your important stuff first. good luck.

You can Click on Start -> Run and type "control" without the double quotes to get the control panel. If you want to access any particular option within the control panel you ned to type "control <filename>.cpl" in the run window and that will open the desired window. Refer the following link to get the information about the list of the available cpl files. \nHope this helps you.\nhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/14850/14850.html

I know this is not comforting but the same exact thing happened to me ! My Adware (Lavasoft) program window popped up and said something about a program changing my registry.\nI did not feel competent enough to reload Windows so I took it  to a pro to look at....hoping he could salvage it without reloading Windows...no such luck...he called and said that it was necessary to reload Windows.\nAnother reason I didn't want to re-load Windows myself was my computer is several years old so the disk that came with it would be outdated.\nI also found numerous articles in the Microsoft database about the ".lnk" files but nothing that exactly matched mine...or appantly yours.\n\ngood luck

right click it and confirm if the path of it is in the correct directory and if it is still existing..\n\nif you want to find the program try searching for it at C:/Program files

It's been a long time since I've used Windows 98, but these pages (in the Sources section) should be useful. \n\nGood luck!

Start > Run > Type: regedit\nThe OK\n\nBUT BE VERY CAREFUL!\n\nDeleting stuff out the registry is risky stuff, could mess up windows!\n\nYou have been warned.

First, check your Recycle Bin and see if it is possibly in there to be restored. Second, if you must install software, my best guess is just to go ahead and reinstall the disc that came with the cam. (You may need to uninstall this and reinstall, do you have paperwork that came with it?) What version of Windows are you running, eg.: '95, '98, XP, etc... XP has a rollback utility, go back to another time, before you deleted it (multimedia audio). I have had help from the friendly folks at Radio Shack over the phone, believe it or not, in "talking me through" fixing some configuration settings. I have found the ones local to me to be really helpful and generous with their time and advice. Try giving them a call first if you aren't sure what to do. I hope it works out for you!

I have doing these for as long time , it's simple and easy to do. As was stated above don't forget to save all your important files \nThough after reinstalling windows don't forget to update drivers for the components from their manufacturers site and also dont forget about http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspx it helps you if you have games running.\nGood Luck

I went to zdnet.com and downloaded a free program called Registry Mechanic (trial version).  Went ahead and bought it after the trail was over because it cleared up so many things.\n\nNow, I'm not exactly sure if it recovered lost data or not but it got rid of a lot of junk in there.\n\nOf course, if your administrator locked you out, then you'll have to offer a bribe or something to get your privileges back.\n\nAny type of food product works well with our admin'r here :)

Rundll32.exe\nrundll32.exe is a process which executes DLL's and places their libraries into the memory, so they can be used more efficiently by applications.This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated\n\nDo you have your Win 98 os cd, if you have one\nClick the Start Menu\nClick 'Run'\nType sfc and click 'OK'\n\nWhen the System File Checker (SFC) opens, choose the option to extract a file. Specify the "Rundll32.exe" file. You will need to have access to a Windows 98 CD to extract it from. \n\nIf you don't have that cd then.\nYou can try windows update, auto patcher or service pack which are available for free.\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/default.asp

it may still be in your recycle bin if so just click and say restore, otherwise got to your start menu, all programs, find your internet explorer and right click on it there should be a send to option, go down to desktop, create shortcut\n\nif I read your question correctly this should work

I would try with new version of knoppix, it can be found on CD, or downloaded from http://knopper.net\n\nOr, you can try to press F8 in boot sequence, and select "repair" so windows is repaired, and no files are lost...

If you have already emptied the recycle bin, then I would say no you can't recover files you wanted...\nIf you still have them in the recycle bin, then all you need to do is restore them to where they were beforehand...

The Dynamic Link Library files that are loaded into a processes address space should be automatically unloaded after a process exits.\n\nHowever, it is possible (if it is a shared or common DLL from whe windows or windows system directory) that the DLL is in use by another application.\n\nIf you close an application and it does not relinquish a DLL, then the application my still be running (without a user interface component) perhaps stuck in an infinite loop or some deadlock.  You can use either the Windows Task Manager or a 3rd party tool, such as "Process Explorer" by Sysinternals to kill the process.\n\nYou can also use the Process Explorer tool in order to see what DLLs a particular process has loaded.  Very good for troubleshooting, I'm including a link to the utility below.
