I probably did something stupid on a Win98SE re-install, but after this I can't right click the network neoghborhood or the My Computer to make changes. I can't even go to the Control Panel & click on Network Neighborhood to gain access to network settings. There is more, but please help.
You can try this to access items in the Control Panel. Go to Start> Find> files or folders. Enter *.CPL in the box> find now. Double click Appwiz.cpl and Add\Remove programs should open. You can try all of them out on the list ( C:\Windows\system ). If one kicks up an error message then restore it from your 98 CD.
I have no clue what I did or if a virus did the elimination of the inability to right click to network neighborhood, but what you indicated WORKED after I ran about 6 - 8 of the *.cpl programs & re-booted. Thanks a million!!!
