Default My computer has ****ed up

I installed the xp skin patch from thickskinned.org (http://thickskinned.org/Zip_Files/PatchXP-SP1.zip) and I read the following before I downloaded the file:

Quote:
"If you do not want to use the supported program (Style XP), you can patch the UXTHEME.DLL of your system.

Remember that this patch is un-supported. (no help files or customer service reps to help you if you f#$!@& up your system.)

And...All of these procedures are un-supported by Bill and the gang at Microsoft."
Anyway, I downloaded the file and ran it, and the dos window came up and the it told me to restart the computer, so I did, when I came back on it said:

Quote:
"The application has failed to start because UXTheme.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem"
So anyway, I pressed CTRL+ALT+DEL -> File -> New Task -> Then I typed EXPLORER.EXE but it shows the same message.

How do I get my desktop back because EXPLORER.EXE is required for everything on XP. My desktop, applications, start bar etc.


And why do they have this on download when it clearly can **** other people's computers up? They are definitley responsible for this.
