windows search window...any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Xyster,

Click Start/Run and type this command:

regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

I am having the same problem as the above user but running regsvr32 /i
shell32.dll does not fix the problem. Any other ideas?

I'm sure the script just does the stuff contained here:

Which worked perfectly (found on another post).

Thank you for your help! I hope Microsoft fixes the bug (when you look at
the actions for File Folder or Drive, it causes this problem).
