My Window 2000 server was infect with w32.valla.2048
virus. After using Symantec Anti vious to fix it. I can't
open a lot of .exe file and I can't open the system
folder from control panel. How do I replace those file?

You didn't mention the files but you'll probably want to download the
current service pack, extract the files, then expand a new copy from the
extracted \i386 directory.

From a command prompt you can expand the file. An example;

expand E:\I386\calc.ex_ %windir%\system32\calc.exe

would expand a new copy of calc.exe to the \system32 directory.

An example to extract a service pack files without installing them, execute
J:\W2kSP3\W2KSP3.exe /x
Then when prompted, specify a directory to hold the extracted files.
