1. EXTRACT.EXE. Actually, the Windows 98 Super Boot Disk also has this command. This command, which has been present since DOS 6.22, was originally a command developed by Microsoft specifically to extract CAB compressed packages. However, its function is not just limited to decompression. We mostly use it to restore system files from the CD. (If you can enter the graphical interface, of course, you can use SFC, which is more powerful and convenient in function)
The following is the author's statistics on the usage parameters and command format of the EXTRACT.EXE command:
Command parameters
Usage instructions
/Y
No prompt when overwriting existing files
/A
Process all CAB files, starting from the specified first CAB file
/D
Display the directory of files contained in the CAB file without decompression
/E
Decompress, replace "*.*", that is, decompress all files
/L dir
Specify the location to decompress the file, default is the current directory
/C
Copy the CAB file
When we know the location of the system file to be restored in the installation CD, we can use the command EXTRACT /Y WIN98_27.CAB cdfs.vxd (to restore the cdfs.vxd file from the compressed package named WIN98_27.CAB in the Windows 98 installation CD). However, if you don't know the exact location of this file, you need to first use EXTRACT /D WIN98＿*.CAB (here * represents the number of the CAB file package) to check cdfs.vxdg for each CAB file, which is more troublesome.

Thanks, Brother Dian Ji Ru Qin. Do you have QQ or MSN? I want to ask for further advice!

Why do I only extract one file when extracting a 600+KB CAB package, and it prompts "not ready reading drive A"
