Hi tired :-)
Cannot search without adding http://
For this particular symptom my guess would be that
regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
also.
IE will not connect to a webpage without manually typing http://
http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/archive....htm#extension
or
Restore search functions
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs...oreSearch2.REG
to restore your search functions
Hope this helps.
