Help! Exploere.EXE Entry Point not found

[dlanod115]

I received the following message when I logged into my pc, I chose my name from the selection and was immediately prompted with this error message:

Explorer. EXE Entry point not found

The procedure entry point SHCreate ThreadRef could not be located in the dynamic link library ShLwapi.dll.

I am on XP w/ sp2. Last night I ran a sp2 update and now I get that message. When I click okay, it brings me to my desktop, but does not offer me my icons or my start menu.

Anyone have any ideas?

There seems to be 3 answers -
1. uninstall sp2
2. you have a virus which corrupted sp2, so uninstall and reinstall
3. your version of sp2 is corrupt, so uninstall sp2 and reinstall from a different source.

How did you install sp2? Have you checked for viruses, trojans and spyware? use these recommendations here (http://forums.windrivers.com/showthread.php?t=57348) even if you think you are clean, it wouldn't hurt to check again.
