Need system32 folder file

I need "vxdmgr32.exe for the system32 folder. I tried to do a search at M$'s site, but it came up blank. The orginal has a virus and it is sitting in the recycle bin. The system barks at me with it not where it should be.
Can I just copy one from another 2k box or do I need to ectract one from the I386 folder in the sp3 update?
If I do, would someone show me the command line to use to extract that file.

Thanks.........

Can't you just copy the file from C:\Windows Folder\ServicePackFiles\i386 into C:\Windows Folder\System32 ?

I don't think you need to use Extract or Expand.

NT does not use VXD's. (Virtual device drivers) 9X does And on top of that, this is a nasty virus, you wanna kill it not restore it.

Nasty trojan in fact.

here is mroe info and howto lean it.

There is probably a link in the registry that starts this program.

Run regedit and search for "vxdmgr32.exe"
Delete the entry and the system won't bug you for that file anymore.

There were 7 files altogether with 2 different viruses. Two were in another partition which I deleted and four more were in the system32 folder which after removal didn't bark at me. Only this one. I assumed it was a real system file. Should of known better, I ran into this before where it comes up looking for the file because of a registry entry.

I will look for that entry. Reg Edit won't work? It has to be Red Edit32?

The REGEDIT and REGEDT32 programs serve the same purpose, but Microsoft will probably phase out REGEDIT. It's the 16-bit version which has less functionality than REGEDT32.
