R. C. :

Progress Dec. 4 noon E.S.T.: I copied the fotder \Symantec Shared
back where it was, from my other hard drive. "Search" returned
with it. So I forwarded a screen shot of that folder's
contents to Symantec and asked them again to tell me what do I
have to delete from that folder, in order to have off the
system what I need off, in order to be able to install System
Works 2005. So I will not be doing any of the XP reinstallation.

By the way, I first ran sfc/scannow and it didn't bring 'Search'
back.
