I introduced a problem by downloading MS's WindowsMedia for streaming servers and then deleting it because it took up so much space -- the download alone is 25mb. To delete it I was forced to delete wmencagt.exe and c:\windows\applog\wmencagt.lgc files -- I now think I should have moved them or renamed them. The problem is that now a Search splash screen appears when booting. Is wmencagt.exe in my Win 98SE install CD, perhaps hiding in a .cab file? Or would I need to reinstall 98SE to retrieve this executable? Or should I just resign myself to exiting the Search splash screen for ever more? I do realize that this is not mission critical but if anyone can help me fix this I would be very appreciative.
