I'm not sure if I have damaged things beyond all repair here..

I KNOW this was really really stupid, but I accidentally deleted the backup copy 
of explorer.exe while I was in recovery console..I put explorer.exe from another 
computer (also running XP  home edition) on a CD and copied it over from there, and 
now when I start up I get the "The procedure entry point SHCreateThreadRef could 
not be located in the dynamic link library SHLWAPI.dll" message. I have looked this 
up but apparently this message is only supposed to show when service pack 2 has been 
installed incorrectly, and no hints on how to deal with it if you HAVEN'T tried to 
install this service pack..

Does anybody know what I could try next? 

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thank you

Laura
