Hit the Windows Start button

Download wbcache.nld Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying wbcache.nld to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Windows NLD files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing wbcache.nld and all other NLD files for Windows. An incorrectly installed NLD file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
