I'm sorry, but probably your Windows or Internet Explorer versions are old. The Microsoft recommendation is below:
SHGetSettings
Version 4.71 and later of Shell32.dll
Windows 95/98: Requires Windows 98 (or Windows 95 with Internet Explorer 4.0 or later).
All systems with Internet Explorer 4.0 or 4.01 will have the associated version of Comctl32.dll and Shlwapi.dll (4.71 or 4.72, respectively). However, for systems prior to Windows 98, Internet Explorer 4.0 and 4.01 can be installed with or without the integrated shell. If they are installed with the integrated shell, the associated version of Shell32.dll will be installed. If they are installed without the integrated shell, Shell32.dll is not updated. In other words, the presence of version 4.71 or 4.72 of Comctl32.dll or Shlwapi.dll on a system does not guarantee that Shell32.dll has the same version number. All Windows 98 systems have version 4.72 of Shell32.dll.
