APPS.INF is your system configuration file and should be located in the C:\WINDOWS\INF directory

You can extract a new one from your cabinet files by going to "Start" "Run" and typing: msconfig, pressing "enter" then choosing the file extraction button

type: APPS.INF

in the first window and press "start"

in the upper window type
C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS

in the lower window type
C:\WINDOWS\INF

press OK

A pop-up window should now say the file has been extracted
successfully.

Reboot

Hello again.Somehow the apps file has gone again.... I tried to get them back like last time. only I keep getting the message.system configeration utility could not extract the file you selected. Make sure the information you entered is correct and that the destination location is accessable and working correctly.
Please can you help again... Thank you. Welsheather.
