OS: Windows XP SP2
xplorer2 v1.6.0.1 LITE
--------------------------
Tools->Find Files does not launch the Window Explorer search.
I know I can set the registry szExtFindFiles to C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe "%s" and launch it that way but then I have to also select the search button on that tool bar.
Strange...xplorer2 works fine on my other XP machine as well as the Win2K but it does not work right on this one.

Yes, sir. But I am trying to figure out why this one is not working on this machine and works on the others. Is there something in the registry that is preventing windows explorer's search from launching?nikos wrote:for better file search have a look at the professional version
I did not have to modify my registry on the other xp machine and it launched properly.

If I right-click on a folder I DO NOT get find or search. I'll see if I have that on my other machine. Meanwhile how do I add that to the shell context menu you refer to?fgagnon wrote:The shell context menu is what appears when one right-clicks on an item.
You should see a Find entry or a Search... entry when you r-click on a folder.

Oops, I made a mistake. I DO GET SEARCH. However, it does not do anything.JEMShoe wrote:If I right-click on a folder I DO NOT get find or search. I'll see if I have that on my other machine.

Maybe it did not make my statement clear... when I right-click on a folder I do get a Search option, however clicking on the Search option does not do anything.JEMShoe wrote:Oops, I made a mistake.

As stated earlier, Tools->Find Files DOES NOT launch the Window Explorer search.
The only way I can get the Window Explorer search window to launch is to set the registry szExtFindFiles to C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe "%s" and launch it that way but then I have to also select the search button on that tool bar.
