Why would you try to replace a XP component with one from Vista ?
There are not interchangeable. Windows XP would reject the file and
probably attempt Windows File Protection to replace the module. ( if
it was able to boot ).

Use the Recovery Console and return the correct shell32.dll file to the
System32 folder.

what is the recovery console and how to use it

Click Start / Help, then look for help on "Recovery Console". Here is
what it says:
=====================
To start the computer and use the Recovery Console from the Setup CD-ROM

Insert the Setup compact disc (CD) and restart the computer. If prompted,
select any options required to boot from the CD.
When the text-based part of Setup begins, follow the prompts; choose the
repair or recover option by pressing R.
If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system, choose the installation
that you need to access from the Recovery Console.
When prompted, type the Administrator password.
At the system prompt, type Recovery Console commands; type help for a list
of commands, or help commandname for help on a specific command.
To exit the Recovery Console and restart the computer, type exit.

=====================

The plot thickens, volume 2...

First you should replace the hacked Vista Shell32.dll with the original
Windows XP Shell32.dll and then see if you can boot the computer.

Boot to the Recovery Console and issue the following commands, pressing
enter after each:

cd system32
ren shell32.dll shell32.old
expand x\i386\shell32.dl_

Note that x is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive, if need be use the
MAP command to get the proper drive letter. After you expand the file
you should get a message telling you that the file has been expanded.
Exit the Recovery Console and see if you can boot the computer. If need
be you can also extract the msvcrt.dll file. If you can boot the
computer after you change the Shell32.dll file try running an SFC scan:

sfc /Scannow

x/i386/shell32.dll will restore the original one?

expand x:\i386\shell32.dl_ c:\windows\system32\shell32.dll

x is the CD-ROM drive letter.
