Hi

I'm facing a weird problem in WinXP:

In the adress bar/file open dialog box, when i type a file name/address, the 'suggest' option (that makes finding stuff in a huge folder so easy) has been disabled.

(For eg, when I type "win", all folders begining with "win" should automatically appear. But that's not happening.)

How can I fix this?

Please help.

Your browsers's history has been deleted disabling 'delete history' option may solve your problem but you won't get your previous list back.

No, no

the problem is NOT in a web browser.

It's in the explorer shell.
