[shell-coding] Search function issues

Hey all,

On some setups (both 2K and XP) the windows search function doesn't work if Litestep is the shell, no matter if the M$ DDE server or our own implementation is used. I've put breakpoints into the (liteman) DDE code and could thus track it down to the SHFindFiles call. It keeps returning REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG (0x80040154L, "Class not registered"). The M$ DDE server probably fails at the same place.
Interestingly, the moment an instance of IE is running it works just fine.

On other people's setups the search function works as it should, whether IE is running or not.

Any ideas? Anyone with similar problems?

Simon
