Please help - all above doesnt work for me! Monday, October 9, 2006 at 3:41 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Rob Hasler (1 messages posted) I have the same problem as most people here, when I double click on my removable drives (Hard-drive - Pen-drive) the search companion opens up. I have done all necessary edits to my registry as suggested here and on Microsoft's site and I have run the last patch. What ever I try, it doesnt work! It is only on my removable drives though. Please help as my PC is starting to fuel a rage inside me!! :D Written in response to: Thank you very much!
