StartMenu: Run... Search, Help don't work

Hello,

If I login as administrator, Help, Search, Run icons work as expected.

When I login as user(admin rights), NOTHING happens when I click Help, etc.

I suspect something got deleted in Docs&Settings, but when I compare the
administrator folder with user's folder, didn't see anything amiss.

I'm sure this is an easy fix.

Thanks for a clue ...

Alan

Hit the Window key + F to invoke the search, also hit Windows key + R to
invoke Run and see what happens? Finally, hit F1 to invoke help. If the Run
box is open, type the below and click OK.

Regsvr32 /i Shell32

Window key + F -> gets search OK
Window key + R -> run box OK
Window key + f1 -> help OK
Regsvr32 /i Shell32 -> msgbox "DllRegisterServer & DllInstall in shell32
succeeded"

Start | Run etc still not responding (tried logging back on too).

Didn't know that Window + key sequence, so at least I've got a
workaround!
