WINNT\System32\Shell32.dll is version 4.00, so that appears to be the  
problem.

According to this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q165695/ Windows  
Desktop update was included with IE 4, but not with IE 5 or later.  
Further, if you want to install Windows Desktop Update you have to  
first remove IE 5 or later. And finally it says that Windows Desktop  
Update can only be installed using the IE 4 setup, but this is no  
longer available from Microsoft. What a mess.
