Every now and then I have to use WINIPCFG to reset my IP
settings.  To make it easier I created a shortcut to it on
my desktop (rather than going through the start menu
and "run" every time I need it).

After restarting my computer recently, the shortcut did
not work.  I went to start>>run, and got an error message
that WINIPCFG was not found.  I searched my drive and
WINIPCFG could not be found anywhere. How could it have
disappeared? Can I avoid it happening again in the future?
Would a virus have done this?

More importantly, can I download it? Please tell me how
and where I can get this file and restore it. I am running
Windows ME.

Thanks
