Thanks for the suggestion.
I have tried and no luck.
I have Tweak Ui 2.1 for XP, that did not fix the problem either.
I can't find the line in my regedit

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState]

2. In the right-pane, double-click "Use Search Asst" and set it's value to
"yes"

any more suggestions?
