Windows 95 some .dll issues

[Thedogs]

Can anybody explain what the following .dll (dynamic link library) files actually do. I have some idea, though I'm also wondering how to get them back to normal. I know doing a "copy" command in DOS does NOT work. Also, doing regsvr32 does not help from DOS. I have Windows 95 running in the background, when in DOS.

The files are "msnp32.dll" and "msshrui.dll"
Basically, they messed up explorer.exe between them, causing pagefault errors and so on.

MSNP32.DLL Network provider for Microsoft Network MSSHRUI.DLL Shell extensions for sharing

Both have to do with networking and network sharing. The best way to replace them is if you have a win98 Cd copy from the cd and paste them to the correct folder. I belave both these go in Windows/system32

Wirdo,
NOT enough info I'm afraid.
Hey "cdogg" or "crustyoldbloke" do either of you know how to "re-activate" the ".dll" in the Win 95 system, by using DOS of course.
Thanks for your help,

You don't say if those dll's are corrupted or missing, but either, find someone with Win95 on disc and copy those files from the disc and load them to your system32 file.If they were missing they will load as normal, if they were corrupted, you will be asked if you want to replace current files. The answer of course is yes.
