When I try to open a cabinet file, XP uses notepad to open it.
I tried regsvr32 %windir%\system32\cabview.dll with no luck.
Thanks.

I think perhaps the OP may know the method you are proposing...
The Original Post included this :
"I tried regsvr32 %windir%\system32\cabview.dll with no luck. "
...from which I guessed at his/her level of knowledge...

Are you sure it's a Windows CAB and not an
InstallShield CAB? A Windows CAB will start
with the bytes 4D 53 43 46 (hex) which spells
MSCF in ASCII.
You might want to install some kind of ZIP
software, anyway. XP's handling of ZIP files
is minimal. Most ZIP programs will also open
Windows CAB files. 7-Zip is probably the best in
terms of functionality, though the interface is
primitive. I still use the last free version of
Power Archiver. It should be easy to find other
free ZIP utilities online. (Don't go for Winzip. It's
a wildly overpriced program that's no better than
the myriad free alternatives.)
It's really very simple what I'm saying for you to either not get it or are
being contentious about it!?!!....
You stated a couple of posts ago that : "Cool, you probably know him/her a
lot better than I do. I don't know what he/she knows and the original post
didn't give any indication"
...to which I then replied that he/she (The O.P. - "Mint", that is) did
indeed give an indication : "I tried regsvr32
%windir%\system32\cabview.dll with no luck"
So I don't understand your last reply at all : "That's not the method I
proposed, so I agree with your use of the word "guessed". "
...which, to my mind, says that I somehow "guessed" wrongly!
How d'ya work that out?

Install the following from Steve Miller of Microsoft and it will open it for you

I'll be curious to hear if that tool helps the OP. I can't see how it
will, but you never know.
Then, in that case, I humbly apologise. I don't deserve your consideration
and not worthy of your attention!! But, seriously, I'm sorry about that,I
know it's no excuse but I was having a really bad day.
