[QUOTE="whizkidraj, post: 89919, member: 3235"] Sometimes this happens even if your indexing service is on. [img]http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/4426/errorvo.jpg[/img] So here is a simple [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Registry]regedit[/url] Trick by me on how I fix this problem as It happens often in my Brother's Laptop. There might be many other tricks which I don't know of but I think this 1 is most easy and trustful and I've tested this many times and it works without any problem :) OK to people who have this problem will not be able to open regedit from Windows start menu search. So Open [b]My Computer[/b] > Open [b]Local Disk C[/b]: > Open [b]Windows folder[/b] there u will find [b]regedit[/b] open that Open these keys HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes\{EF87B4CB-F2CE-4785-8658-4CA6C63E38C6}\TopViews\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} Click on the [b]{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}[/b] key and on the right side Change the value of [b]GroupBy[/b] from [b]System.Null[/b] to [b]System.StartMenu.Group[/b] This fix also requires explorer.exe kill and restart or reboot ur PC to make registry changes as we all know.
