Recommended Posts

hello all

i am not able to view search options in windows explorer, please help me

i am attaching a picture for refrence, but if you are want to do me like this:

Log on to the computer by using an account with administrator permissions.

Click Start, click Run, type %systemroot%\inf, and then click OK.

Locate the Srchasst.inf file.

Right-click the Srchasst.inf file, and then click Install. This reinstalls the files that Search Companion uses.

Look at Line 70 - in the L/H column here :-

Save the search.reg file to your hard disk.

Double click it and answer yes to the import prompt.

the following error occured when browsing the registry file

"Cannot improt C:\ser.reg: the specified file is not a registry scrip you can only import binary registry files from within the registry"

If you open the .reg file you downloaded with Notepad does it say this ?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

"NoFind"=dword:00000000

Another possible source of a problem is to do with the file jscript.dll.

If this file is missing, corrupt, or not properly registered with the operating system several dialogs can be affected including Search Companion and also User Accounts, Windows Update, Help and Support, and System Restore.

Have a look here for suggested solutions :-
