If you really want to know which .cab file rundll32.exe is in, the
search *,cab for those containing the text "rundll32.exe"
While it is many years since I use Extract in Win95, I don't follow
your syntax as you don't mention rundll32.exe but try this:
Here's an example of how you would use this utility from a command
prompt: (may wrap)
Extract /a /l c:\Windows C:\Windows\Options
Cabs\win95_02.Cab rundll32.exe
This particular syntax searches all .Cab files beginning with no. 2
and installs that one file into the directory of your choosing (in
this case, the file is being copied to c:\Windows).
