I have just wrote a tutorial on this subject, mianly focusing on how to change the shell, however it has not been accepted yet but please keep trying it, It does not answer these questions, so I will answer them now for you (I have only been doing this for a few months so please forgive me if some information is incorrect or incomplete):

which files are modified/replaced from explorer?

As far as I can tell explorer.exe is not modified at all just replaced, as the new shell is a seperate entity from explorer.

How to recover old explorer.exe versions?

This is answered above, as explorer.exe is not modified all you have to do to recover it is re-set it as the shell.

I hope you have found this usefull, however for more indepth information plese visit Shell-Shocked
