"Search Everywhere" Error

VISTA is generating a strange error when I click "Search Everywhere" from the
search box:

Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have
the appropriate permissions to access the item.

Has anyone ever seen this error with the "Seach Everywhere" feature?
