Hello,
I have lost the function of the search in my folders. I can click on the search but nothing happens.
I have also los the run function when I click on the start and if I go to the setting on the classic start menu, there are only the taskbar & start menu and nothing ells.
Can anyone please tell me how to fix it?
I have NOD32 and Super antispyware to protect my computer.
Thank you

Right click on "Start" then select "Properties" on the "Start Menu" tab click "customize", make sure "Display Run" check box is checked.

Thanks
But sorry there is no "Display Run" to check the box.

If not then someone has changed Group Policy to prevent it.

by kenone

If so go into Internet Explorer and set up your search setting under "options".
