I have been having problems with the search fuction in Windows XP SP2 plus
some websites not showing anything.
I have been using the online support center but now I am at a loss. My
problem seems to be coming from the jscript and vbscript.
I can register the jscript.dll under my profile and everything works great
until I log off or re-boot the system. Then I have to do it all over again.
When my wife logs on, no search companion, just a blank box with a dog in it.
Her profile is set to administrator but I can not register the jscript.dll
or the vbscript.dll.
I re-installed the search companion - didn't fix
Installed Microsoft Script 5.6 got an error the it couldn't register
jscript.dll on my wifes profile. It installed on my profile but after a
re-boot I had to register jscript.dll.
Wife is getting fed up.....Help me, Please!

Did you ever solve this problem because I'm getting similar (but not
identical) issues ?

I found out that the permissions on the registry had gotten messed up.
I had found a script on the internet to reset the permissions and that fixed
all my problems.

.. Download and install subinacl from:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

2. Create a file named reset.cmd in C:\Program Files\Windows Resource
Kits\Tools folder.

3. Edit the reset.cmd file with the following content.

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=systems=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=system=f

4. Enter into CMD prompt.

5. Enter the following commands one at a time and click Enter.

cd\
cd "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"
reset.cmd

Us this at your own risk!

Thanks for this. I don't profess to understand the detail of the suggested
content of "reset.cmd", but before trying to execute your suggestion, I just
wanted to check that the singular/plural on "administrators" and "systems" is
as you intend and is not a typo.

The first block of four lines have "administrators" (ie plural) whilst the
second block of four lines has the first as plural (ie "systems") with the
next three as singular (ie "system"). Is this correct ?

Please confirm.

"SYSTEMS" is incorrect. It should be SYSTEM
Whereas "Administrators" is correct (it's a group)
