I am running XP at home, with SP2 installed. Until yesterday, everything was fine, but suddenly, when I try to search a folder using the search option in Windows Explorer, the search window which appears is not a window to search that folder, but is the window to search the root. As if that was not enough, the search window is completely unresponsive - clicking in any option gives no response at all. It will sometimes allow me to close the search down, but usually I have to kill it using task manager. I use search often - so has anyone any ideas how I can get it back? I've reinstalled my OS, my virus protection and firewall are both up to date, and spybot finds no spyware on my system. Thanks

Not quite the same but this site http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=831430 deals with a blank search window.
