explorer problem?
I accidentally removed from Explorer the game called "Shanghai II Dragons Eye" and sent it to my documents . What is the procedure to return this game and its contents to Windows Explorer and remove it from my documents without losing it? Also since I don't have the installation disk any longer for this game is it possible to make a copy on a floppy disk and if so the procedure?
Thank you
Robert

1. open explorer,
2. go to my documents, right click on the dir/file, and cut.
3. Then go to where it was before, eg, \program files\shang...eye\ or \program files\ and right click on the dir and click paste.
Then it should work, since all you really done was move it from one dir to another in the first place.

If all else fails, hopefully you have a prior SAVED REGISTRY which you can RESTORE and had all as it was before (and as said, returning the folder to it's original spot). A good way to find it's original spot is to find any *.lnk (shortcut files or the original details on the game file on your system), choosing PROPERTIES and reading the path.
If you need more, advise.

wether you leave it or dont remember the original location and restore the registry,
you'll want to repair the registry.
Reboot to dos and at prompt type:
regedit fix and hit ok
that should put your registry on track.

As for the copy part, its possible ONLY if a, its yours ;), and b, it all runs from the same dir, ie, no files in \windows\system.
