My computer was hit by a virus recently and some files may have been lost. One file file that appears to be missing is a shell.dll file. If I try to open up certain programs or a game(TD2), I get the pop-up box stating "Can't find shell.dll".
I have Windows XP home version as my OS. One thought, if someone has a moment and could use the search files feature to find every place this file is located. Then I can compare this list to my system and see any missing location(s).
If not, any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks very much.Bob Staples

SD75iIt was missing from the Windows/System32 file folder. Its strange because I thought I had looked there before. You begin to think these machines have a life all their own!
Thanks for your time. Much appreciated!Bob
