Had no clue as to where to post this. My apologies in advance if I have made
a mistake.
XP Home, SP2
Installed desktop search 3.? and hated it. Could not install it. It did not
appear in Add/Remove. Installed windows search 4.0. It did appear in
Add/Remove, and I uninstalled it. That seemed to get rid of 3.? but:
When I click Start, Search, I get a search window, but it does not look like
XP's normal/native/original search window OR 3.?'s window. Vastly different
. I am unable to determine exactly what search facility I now have.
Additionally, I have a folder c:\program files\Windows Desktop Search
containing 5 .dll files ... dbres(2).dll, deskbar(2).dll, MSNLExtRes(2).dll,
MSNLNamespaceMgr(2).dll, and wordwheel(2).dll. There is one subfolder ...
en-US with 2 .cfg files.
I think this folder is a "leftover" from a Restore Point I made, and can be
deleted, but I am not sure. Any comments or explanation is very appreciated.
What is REALLY weird is this search window does not find any folder or file
mentioned above. Searching for (2) doesn't find those mentioned at all.
I would like to have the original XP search back or at least know what I am
currently using which does not seem to work very well.
