Using a boot disk(Win95 start up disk) try scanreg /restore at DOS prompt. Don't be afraid to reinstall.

Boot to a dos prompt and rename SYSTEM.CB to SYSTEM.INI then you will be able to load into windows using the original version of the file. Assuming of course that that is the only file you've lost!

get one of your friends to give you a copy. If you can't do that then I will give you a copy of it. Just email me.

The Recycle Bin in DOS is named Recycled and might not show up in 'dir'. You could also use Undelete if you have it [WIN95 CD-rom, 'OLDMSDOS' folder], that's if you can use your CD-rom in DOS.
