Go here for a DDEML.DLL file fix
» Does anybody have a copy of W95 Windows/System/DDEML.DLL with a "modification date" or "creation date" later than 8-24-96? Each time I boot, the system says "a program I recently ran" replaced the newer version with the older one. « That date is the file date of OSR2 (Win95b); therefore, I assume that is the version you have and you can get the file from your W95 disk.

If you'd like something a little more refined than a DIR output, have a look at ExpPrint. ExpPrint is an Explorer context menu extension that gives you a "Print Directory Listing" menu when you select any file folder, drive, or files. It has quite a comprehensive sorting and layout capability, and is only a 153K download.
ExpPrint is shareware, the only restriction on the non-registered usage is that the Save settings capability is disabled. Other than that it's fully functional and not time limited. David Lowndes
Download and install Windows 95 Update for AMD-K6®-2/350 (and Above)
Note: This update is only for Windows 95 OEM SR2. The above download page has other updates you may want to install. But, please read any accompanying documentation first to make sure the update is applicable to your system. Also if you are not experiencing the problem an update is designed to correct, then it may be best to follow the policy "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Jim Caccamise
