Well, to answer .... (PKD's Suspicions and Neuroses aside ... ;-p)
I NEVER Download 'Porn' files, much less 'Open' such crap :(
... something about 'Viewers' being Dialler Crap .. dontcha know ..
(IF I *had* wanted help that way, I wouldn't *need* to ask HERE, anyway) ;-p
No, I've been TO Malaysia, (Sabah/Sarawak - The "Outdoor Life"), :))
last year, and hopefully that part of the world again late NEXT year,
I am using a Dreamcast Console rather than Lap-Top to post here...
... THAT may account for the 'POS' ? ??? ? 'Operating System' ...
My QUESTION... (and thanks to all who replied ;-p) ...was could a Lost/
Forgotten Password to a WINDOWS ME 'Compressed Folder' be recovered
after it had been 'deleted' from Dynazip.log .... and the answer is,
according to both Micros~1 support and other "Experts Who Can Get
Into Things" ... simply "NO, it can't" :-((
So, thank you for your ... *cough* ... help and words of advice ...
Calum:
your pious sarcasm aside, how did you think you could open a windows compressed folder on a dreamcast? i am very confused about what you are or were talking about?
just to add to your confusing stream of odd comments, POS stands for 'Point of Sale' by the way.

Oh lord... why me
I MEAN I use a Dreamcast Console to "Surf Safe"....
Viruses/.EXE Files/Pop-ups/Scripting, etc are all harmless
and I can go anywhere, open any mail safely, etc, etc ....
The Windows Folder is of course... on the Lap-Top...
... where it will remain until I search through External
HD's and *Locate* the relevant password :) ... unless of
course there IS another way to bypass the password entry ?!?...
(If "The Riddler" ?!?.,.. I think ... is still around here, my 'Tame
Hacker', the lovely 'Little Flower', once mailed him under the name
'Karen L', TELLING him Passwords TO 'Compressed Folders' *WERE*
actually visible IN WINDOWS/DYNAZIP.log file, btw.... which got some
:THANKS: 'cos apparently he didn't know that ?!?!.... if all that
"Rings any Bells" anywhere ?!?

not that i know of, but i don't really put much of my effort into finding out vulnerabilities in microsoft stuff. Why not ring up microsoft? is this compressed folder part of their 'operating system'? I keep hearing them bleating on about how their operating system is so much more than any other system and how it includes all the apps and so on, so if this folder is part of their operating system maybe you should ask them for technical support regarding how to open it. You know you are entitled to get support from microsoft, it's included in your end user licence agreement which you can read here.
