Additionally, as an extra data point, both of these failed with "The 
system cannot find the path specified" on my Win2K machine, so it's not 
just a Win9x issue.  (I'm not sure if the fact that they're different 
errors on your machine but the same error on my machine is significant, 
but in either case it's still nonfunctional.)
