    When I click on "Start\ Search\For Files or Folders" Nothing happens. It's like my Search feature is disabled.:confused:

    Hi

    Maybe you have tweakui installed ?

    ======
    Just a few words of caution though if you are new to using TweakUI on Win Me.
    a) Do not change the first icon (documents) on the Desktop tab.
    Doing this causes a number of script errors in Special Folders when using either WebView or Active desktop.
    b) Do not uncheck "Search Results" on the Desktop tab.
    Doing this disables the Search in Explorer.
    c) Do not hide the TweakUI icon on the Control Panel tab.
    d) Do not uncheck "Show Control Panel on Start Menu" on the IE tab.Doing this will prevent you from accessing the Control Panel including TweakUI.
    e) Do not uncheck "Shell Enhancements" on the IE tab.
    This causes quite a few unexpected "problems ".
    ==============
    If thats not it what happens with the search in Internet explorer?
