Find not working in XP Home Explorer

[goodmonkees]

All of a sudden my Find function has stopped working in
the XP Home Explorer.

What do I do ? It is impossible to perform searches on my
hard drives for files !!

Do I have to restore XP with the restore disk ?

XP does not have a "Find" feature but does have a Search. The Find feature IS in searching the Registry.
You did not state which Explorer you are using, is sit Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer? Try here:
Search - Doesn't Work

Open Explorer and go to the Windows\Inf folder. Locate the srchasst.inf file. Right click it and select Install. You'll need your XP CD or the files from the I386 folder. (This fix will require you to have your Win XP CD).

The Windows\Inf folder is a hidden folder. You can adjust your Explorer Folder Options (View tab) to Show hidden files and folders. You can also click Start, Run and enter %SystemRoot%\Inf to open directly to the Inf folder.
