Cannot start vista because I messed around with system files

I did something stupid with my system, and I really want to get it
fixed.
basically I followed this instruction to install the new theme files.

'VistaOSX '09 Uninstall by =patrickgs on deviantART'
(http://patrickgs.deviantart.com/art/...tall-100318778)

I restarted my system after the 3rd step
now my system is missing
authui.dll
browseui.dll
imageres.dll
shsvcs.dll
themeui.dll
uxtheme.dll

the files still exist in my system32 folder, just under a backup
filename

now whenever i start my system (i tried safe mood and command prompt),
it will always end up in a black screen with my white mouse pointer.

I can go into the system recovery options fine, but there no system
restore points exists.

just one more thing, I am wondering if there is anyway that i can acess
C:\ under DOS, restart in command prompt is not working.

I know how to fix the files once i go into DOS.

Use the repair option via cd Vista boot.

I actually dont have a vista cd if that's what you mean
my laptop is HP with loaded system.
I do have recovery disks, but that'll restore my laptop to its original
factory condition..

Hi,

Are you able to tap F8 at the end of POST and select "Last Known Good
Configuration" ?

Check the HP documentation - I have an HP Pavilion and the restore feature
provides for only reinstalling and repair of the OS rather than a full
restore.

I check and there are..
system restore - restore computer
factory reset - restore system

which one is it?

There's no DOS in an NT-based system. WinME was the last version of Windows
to have an underlying DOS layer. In Vista or XP, one works from a recovery
console by booting the installation disk.

Most likely System Restore - check HP website for more information.
