When you double-click the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop, you may
receive the following error message:
Windows cannot find Program.exe, which is needed for opening files of type "Internet Explorer".
CAUSE
This issue can occur if you are using MSN, The Microsoft Network, software
when you upgrade to Windows 98, and the Program Files\Online Services\MSN folder is missing or damaged. The Internet Explorer icon on the desktop references
the Msnmig.exe in the Program Files\Online Services\MSN folder, and when Windows is unable
to find this file, it generates the error message.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, extract the Msnmig.exe file to the
Program Files\Online Services\MSN folder, and then reinstall MSN, The
Microsoft Network. For information about how to extract files, please
