not sure what u mean here. (might be due to what ver of win u r running Pro/Home)

as for the search what happens when u hit Ctrl+E. Also are you using win home or PRO?

That Windows search bug was removed in Winxp Sp1 .. You must be using ancient version of Xp .. Install XP SP2 to your system and your problem will be solved ..

u may have to re-register dll's.
click here *support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=831430

Emsa Register Dll Tool and Register/ Unregister OCX/DLL Utility
are two utilities, with which you can achieve the same on the fly.

The default Administrator account is not shown in the startup menu where you select the user name after booting unless you tweak windows settings a little.

You can use the TweakUI PowerToy(get from *www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx). Open the program and click the Logon option in the left pane. Next put a check mark on "Show Administrator on Welcome Screen". Click OK and close TweakUI. When you logoff and logon again, you will see that Administrator has been added to the Welcome Screen.
