Hi,
Go to the Control Panel/Folder Options, and on the View tab, set the options
so you can see hidden and system files. Specifically:
Enable (check) "Display the contents of system folders"
Enable (check) "Show hidden files and folders"
Disable (uncheck): "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)"
I also recommend that you disable (uncheck) "hide extensions for known file
types". Then, double-click "My Computer", "C:\",Windows,System32, and then
dllcache. Locate shell.dll, right-click it and select copy. Then go up one
folder level to get back to the system32 folder. Click edit/paste and agree
to the warning about overwriting an existing file.
Or, click start/run and type cmd. From the prompt, run:
copy C:\Windows\system32\dllcache\shell.dll C:\Windows\system32
