Re: Cannot find the file "C:...dfrg.msc' ...

Does the file exist?
%systemroot%\system32\dfrg.msc

If so what happens when you double-click it? If not you can expand a new
copy of the MSC from your Windows 2000 install CD-Rom

From a command prompt you can expand the file. An example;

expand D:\I386\DFRG.MS_ %systemroot%\system32\DFRG.MSC

would expand a new copy to the \system32 directory.
(note the space between _ and %)

Also you'll want to use the correct version for the service pack level
you're at. So you may need to extract the file from a service pack.

To extract the service pack files without installing them, execute
J:\W2kSP4\W2KSP4.exe /x
Then when prompted, specify a directory to hold the extracted files.
