Search Function

Question

I have lost my search function both from START and also
when I try to search a folder.
My O/S is XP Pro SP2.......IE6

I have tried the following:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoFind

If "NoFind" has the value "01 00 00 00" change it to "00 00 00 00" and it will probably solve your problem. You will need to restart ("log off & log in" will probably suffice). 

# the above HKEY does not exist in my registry?.



Fix search function working by running the following commands:
regsvr32 wshom.ocx
regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 urlmon.dll

Does anyone have a solution other than formatting, my XP CD
is not genuine I think, it is called LazyXP ??? and burnt
to CD.
