I had this virus on my box that dropped its own commands into the various system files, including the system.ini file. I tried to edit the file to fix it and i ran into a problem. I am running windows ME.

I deleted the Explorer.exe command from the
load= line(OOPS). Now it will not boot into windows and it is telling me to reinstall windows.

Is there a way i can add that Explorer.exe command back to the system.ini file through DOS?
I am not sure what i am doing with DOS but any help would be greatly appreciated.
