Re: Windows XP Search function


Hi Ramesh

Thanks for the reply and help. Although it was not the search for computers
on the network but searching for Files & Folders that created the error,
through your guidance I have been able to find the solution and have altered
the Registry Key accordingly. All is working again.

Your help my friend is warmly appreciated.

regards

Dave
