re: missing file windows\system\shlwapi.dll Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 6:17 pm Posted by Lee (172 messages posted) There is an outside chance that your shlwapi.dll file might be found in the System folder as a "Setup.xxxx" file where the "xxxx" part is a number. So DOS mode dir c:\windows\system\setup*.* might show it for a manual renaming attempt?? Otherwise... Shlwapi.dll file will be contained in the latest IE cumulative update 916281 from MS. If 32 bit Windows didn't already need shlwapi.dll running, one could just reapply the update - but it DOES. As it is, you will have to download the update, use WinZip on it to extract the shlwapi.dll file and move the file onto the target machine in DOS mode. THEN reapply the 916281 update to be very sure that everything got registered correctly. I knew that there was a reason I never tried Registry Mechanic before this...
