Search function acting strange

[Greg]

Hi folks,
When I attempt to do a search (using the "All Files and
Folders" parameter) either from My Computer, or using
Start...Search, a dialogue pops up for MS Office 2000
Standard saying "The feature you are trying to use is on
a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available.
Insert the Microsoft Office 2000 Standard disk and click
OK."

The problem is, I don't use Office 2000 Standard, I've
always used Office 2000 Professional. If I try to use
the Office (Professional) CD and click OK, I get a
message saying "The file 'Microsoft Office 2000' is not a
valid installation package for the product Microsoft
Office 2000 Standard. Try to find the installation
package 'data1.msi' in a folder from which you can
install Microsoft Office 2000 Standard."

Can anyone help me figure this out?

Ok the situation just changed as I repeated the procedure
to write up this post. I just figured out that if I
start hitting the cancel button when the dialogue box
pops up, I have to hit cancel about four times before it
stops looking for Office 2000 Standard, and then I can
perform a search. Still, does anybody know why it's
looking for Office Standard in the first place?

Thanks a bunch,
Greg

Hi Greg,

If you didn't install the Assistant during custom install of Office, change
your search to classic.

If this is not the case, run the edit on line 171 - right hand side:
