Search for Files or Folders

[Guest]

Somehow my shortcuts to IE (and there isn't one in the IE directory) have
disapppeared and my Start-->Search-->For Files or Folders... function brings
up a blank search function. IE works if I initialize Windows Upgrade and go
to the internet from there. How do I restore these two functions.

Create a shortcut to "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"

The Properties of the shortcut should have

%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%

in the "Start In:" pane. I doubt this is absolutely necessary though.

As it turns out DELETING the new MS applet "Windows Desktop Search" solved
all my problems.
