Using of CAB files in Windows (Making & Extracting)

Cabinet files are the Microsoft Windows Archives. These archives can store multiple files/folders into a single file with or without involving data compression. Since every Windows system is natively compatible with cab files, Windows provide enough facilities to create, extract, or rebuild cab files without requiring additional software.By default, there are 3 utility files for dealing with cab files. They are

·         makecab.exe
·         expand.exe
·         extrac32.exe


You can find these in the system32 directory.

Use IEXPRESS.EXE,there is a lot of facilities with this tool. Try playing around a bit and figure them out.
