hello.  please help me get my "search" function back on my laptop, running
winme.  it has worked in the past.  i don't know what i could have done to
make it stop working.

it returns an empty list.

i use this function to clear out *.tmp, *.temp, mscreate.dir, etc. files and
for obvious reasons, to find a particular file.

i don't know why it does not work anymore, but i would surely appreciate
getting this function back.

i've goggle'd "search function" with "winme" & "stopped working" and have
had no luck finding the answer.  the closest was a solution for winxp, which
was to go to windows\inf and right-click on srchasst.inf and install.  i
could not find that *.inf file in the inf folder, and have no other way to
know if it's somewhere else on the system except thru a manual search.
yikes.

tia,
ginny
