Hey, thanks. That was the ticket. I was lucky though.
The drives that came with the computer (C HD and the two optical
drives) were not there. However, the D drive which I added was there
and I could change the shell32,nnn number. The trick was figuring out
which icon in shell32dll was the right one.
Thanks for the reply. Order has been restored to the world.
