registry editor - help !

I accidentally delete in the root folder my .exe and .dll
folder and i need help to restore them
 
Have you tried the restore function of the recycle bin?

If you have a MS XP CD, you might do a repair install or run
sfc/ scannow to reinstall the missing files.

Did you follow the instruction to back-up your registry
before using regedit? If so, system restore should fix your
problem.

Windows Registry
Windows stores its configuration information in a database
called the registry. (The registry editor that ships with
Windows is regedit.exe.) The registry contains profiles for
each user of the computer and information about system
hardware, installed programs, and property settings. Windows
continually references this information during its
operation.

Registry editors are available that enable you to inspect
and modify the registry. However, you should not need to do
so. Instead, allow Windows programs to modify the system
registry as needed. It is strongly recommended that you do
not edit registry settings yourself.

Warning

a.. Incorrectly editing the registry may severely damage
your system. At the very least, you should back up any
valued data on the computer before making changes to the
registry.
If you do damage your system, you may be able to repair the
registry or restore it to the same version you were using
when you last successfully started your computer. Otherwise,
you must reinstall Windows. When you reinstall your system,
you may lose any changes that have been made, such as
Service Pack upgrades, which you must reinstall separately.
For information about restoring the registry to a previous
version, click Related Topics.

c.. When you choose Last Known Good Configuration, Windows
restores information in registry key
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet only. Any changes you have
made in other registry keys remain.
