Win 98 missing file

[Stephen DiCenso]

I have been trying to fix a problem with my Win98 Computer. I locked it up
and when I rebooted it, it had some missing files. I purchased the machine,
a clone w/Win98 already installed. I am still missing some files but can¹t
find them. I am looking for a file called ³SHLWAPI.DLL²
Looking for some help please!
