korbk thanks for that, thats really handy...

although I must say I am just inclined to copy and paste the shell32.dll file from the xp cd...that will be ok would it not? or would you say I should do a sfc /SCANNOW to check all other files are OK???

thanks for all the responses recieved..

I Typed : sfc/scannow and recieve a msg" pls wait whilst windows verifies all protected files....then it just stops....hmm...

any ideas how to proceed without reformating, as reformating is not an option?

pls confirm

thanks in advance

cheers...
