Only a couple of days ago, a program installation trashed themeui.dll and uxtheme.dll on my laptop. My pc would not boot in to a GUI, not even in safe mode.

Copied the corrupted files from c:\I386 to c:\windows\system32 using dos and my PC was up and running again within 2-3 min's. A lot quicker than using the installation disks.
