How do I restore missing shell.dll files lost in adware cleanup?

After removing Adware.iefeats some applications won't start because of missing shell.dll's. How do I restore these missing files.

Thanks,

I don't think you want to have these files back - have a look here:

Are there any shell.dll's that I do need to restore? Those on the symantec link aren't the ones I was referring to.

 

IN ad aware click on: "open quarantine list" and there will be all items you removed.

 

Is it possible to get clean .dll files from the Windows XP disk?

 

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\

See if there is a 'Shell.dll' there. If so, COPY (right-click > Copy) and PASTE (right-click PASTE) it to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\.

It should work by copying Shell.dll from C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (COPY it, do not MOVE it). k:

If you can't find it there, try copying from "C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache"... k:
