I have the same problem with the 'Search' option not appearing on my Start menu any
longer. I also was missing the 'Run' option as well, and regedit.exe was no longer
working. Also I can no longer right click on an icon or file and get the dropdown
menu (which I believe is called the context menu) to appear. It initially was caused
by spyware, or so it appeared. As removing some spyware with XoftSpySE gave me back
the 'run' option on the start menu, and allowed regedit.exe to function again, but
I am still not able to right click and get a drop down menu, nor does the 'Search'
option appear in the Start menu. I removed and reinstalled the indexing function
as you stated, but that didn't help me at all. Do you happen to remember what else
you did to get the 'Search' option back? Thanks in advance !
