Welcome to the forum d00d

wht u r talking abt cab is prevalent in win98 installation files

in winxp's i386 folder there arent much cab files except the driver cab file of 74 Mb

and well as far as i knw all the IE, Media palyer and stuff are in tht _format wherein the dll file wod hav the filename *.dl_ and similarly for other files

First of all

DON'T TYPE IN HACKER LANGUAGE

Second of all

If you use WinRAR then you must be acquaint with it's find feature which lets you find specific files in a bunch of archives...

All these files which are not part of XP must be added to XP after the installation.

You can write BATCH files to copy the files to respective directory. And call the batch by placing the line to call the batch in cmdlines.txt file in you i386 folder.

You can also copy those files directly if you place them in $OEM$\$$\Resources

since all files from $OEM$\$$ are copies to your windows installation path, you can install many utilities directly in your PATH variable by coping them in $$\System32 folder. You can install fonts by placing them in $$\Fonts etc.

Hope this clears some of your doubts.

Look for makecab.exe to create cab files. You can use extract.exe for extracting existing cab files. Then recreate the cab file after you are done making changes...
