WINDOWS 7 search bar/registry help!
Hello all. This is my first time posting. I have been having a recent problem with my windows search bar in the start menu and I cannot explain exactly what has caused it. When you try to search for anything you get a list of blank file icons labeled as programs, files, computer ect.. that do not go anywhere when clicked on. I know there are numerous posts about this problem and I have tried them all to no avail. However the newest one I found was an exported registry key from this post windows registry. I believe that the key "foldertypes" is my problem. Whenever I try to merge the new .reg files I get the following error. "cannot import 'filename' Not all data was succesfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes." Can anyone help me figure out what to close to get this to merge succesfully? Or could anyone export a new zip of this key? I am running home premium 64bit. I have been browsing forums for days trying to fix this any help would be much appreciated!
