Hi
You're welcome.
I'm sorry that I did not explain in my initial post what was taking place.
The regsvr32 is just your system's server for all the DLLs. The DLL files
contain some code to be executed across applications. They do not have
main entry points such as the executables (.exe), so they have to be
called by running program.
Two interesting examples of code contained in DLL are the management of
Open and Save files and handling of SSL connections by some programs.
Unless a DLL file is registerd by the regsvr32, it cannot function.
In the case of the shell32.dll, it is the one that is responsible for the
smooth running of the main shell. Many programs make use of this
DLL--examples are the file managers (7zip File Manager comes to mind).
Some viruses may attack or corrupt your factory DLLs. This is so with some
rogue autorun.inf that execute some malicious apps. So we want to correct
the behaviour of our shell by reinstalling its DLLs.
In fact, there are some registry tweaks you can play with, but due to the
nature of this list where we have beginners, intermediate and advanced
computer users play along with each other, I tend to avoid getting into
these as they may compromise our machines.
Since the problem in question called for urgent response, it was safe just
to state the actions to be taken without giving so many explanations.
Cheers,
Ishe

David and Ishe,
I also tried this and it worked. However I'm not clear how someone would
know that this needs to be done and what improvement will I get from
doing this.
This list is such a nice place to be. There is so much to learn and lots
of friendly people.

Allow me to do some research before answering you. Most likely though
the guy who posted these instructions in the first place will be able to
supply a reason before I can.

David,
This is interesting. I've never heard of this before. How
would one know they needed to perform this action?

HI David:
Here is a repeat of the message you wanted from Ishe.
Hi,
Sorry for the annoyance, but try this:
1. Go to Start menu, choose Run...
2. From the dialog box that appears, typeregsvr32 /i
shell32.dll
3. Press Ok.
A message will inform you that DllRegisterServer and
DllInstall in
shell32.dll succeeded.
Press OK to dismiss the message, and enjoy!
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Ishe

Please send that command again. I'd like to post it on the
tips and tricks
page but no longer have the original message.

It restores your shell32 dll file if it was corrupted. It
just registers
all shell32 DLL according to their factory settings.
I am glad it worked for you.
Cheers,
