SHDOCVW.DLL not found

After downloading and installing several recommended updates and shutting down for the night, I have since been unable to get XP to start with the following message. " This application has failed to start because shdocvw.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem" I have no idea why this would have happened. Is there an easy way to recover this file? I have not been able to get the repair function turned on.

Try rebooting using f8, last known good configuration. Worked for me
