search assistant works fine, but ...
I used to have choices of hard drives etc, under the My Computer choice and now I don't.
How do I get the drop down box; Look in: to show me the different drives on my computer so I can selectively search? There also used to be a 'browse' that I could select at the bottom of the dropdown and it's gone too..
 
while I'm waiting..

yes I am the administrator

yes I have all hidden, sub folders etc shown, nothing is hidden from me

I've tried both standard and advance choices.

yes I can just type in the drive letter I want and search successfully, the search tool works, it's just that I can't click on the drives (I use the option to search the remote drives a lot, there are more than one of them so I don't want to have to type them each time, or search C and everything else)

I have recently installed tweakui.. not sure if that's when I lost the drive and browse listings
 
the chatroom experts solved this one for me just now.... changed the registry value to no for the use assistant line

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState
