Navigate to the following key in the Registry Editor, HKEY _ LOCAL _ MACHINE\Software\ Microsoft\Shared Tools
After selecting "Shared Tools", double click on "SharedFilesDir" in the right hand side panel of the Registry Editor. Enter the following path as "Value Data", C:\Program Files\Common Files\ Microsoft Shared\ Click on Ok and close the Registry Editor.

In the General tab, click on the 'Expand File' and enter the file name you want to restore.

Select the "i386" folder in your XP CD and enter the path where you want the file to saved. This file resides in the following folder by default, C:\Program Files\Common Files\ Microsoft Shared\Proof
