How Do I extract a file off of the WinXP cd?

I want to extract the Shell32.dll file off my WinXP Pro cd. How Do I do it? The one I have installed on my computer was corrupted by a virus and I need to replace it. Thanks.
 
Pop in the CD
When the window opens, click "Additional Tasks"
Click "Browse the CD"
shell32.dll is in the \i386 folder
 
I tried both of these methods and no dice. The file located in the I386 folder is Shell32.DL_ and I need to uncompress that or something. How do I uncompress that? Or can anyone running XP pro just send me that file from their windows/system32 folder?
 
Everything with an underscore "_" character on the end of it in your i386 folder on the XP cd is compressed and needs to be decompressed in order to be used. Run the following command from DOS in the "i386" folder on the CD:

expand shell32.dl_ c:\shell32.dll

This will expand/decompress the file and place it in the root of your "C" drive.

If you need more help with this, post a reply.
