My workstation is running Windows 2000 Professional. The search option in the Start menu is inoperative. If I select it from there or the pop-up menu in Explorer it does nothing. What could be causing this?

HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Locate the NoFind value in the right pane, right click it select Modify and change the value to 00000000 or 00 00 00 00, depending on whether its a Dword or Binary value.

I went to several machines and looked att his registry key, and the NoFind key does not exist. Do I have to create it, and if so what is theexact key name.

Tried downloading and this did not work either. We have since
rebuilt the machine. Thanks for the effort.
